The Ruger Precision rifle is a great host for various optics. In this Photo Of The Day, it’s carrying the brand new Pulsar Thermion DUO DXP50. So what’s so cool about this digital optic? It looks like a normal riflescope, but it combines a 4K daylight camera [Read More…]
Welcome to our Photo Of The Day! Every day, we feature a photograph or two. I took these images for an upcoming review of the brand new Schmidt & Bender 6-36×56 PM II (yes, it’s finally here!), so consider them a teaser of some sort. I also took the [Read More…]

Last year I reviewed the Concamo Ghosthood and some of the components in their Confusion Camouflage System. I was quite satisfied with the quality and performance of their products, and their camoflage which consists of 25 superimposed layers which create a “chaotic [Read More…]
This is a review of the Concamo Ghosthood and some of the components in their Confusion Camouflage System. If you’re following TFB, I’m sure you’ve seen the Concamo images at least a few times. The images look great, and they have wonderful marketing [Read More…]

Each day a different image from the World of firearms. We call this POTD, short for Photo Of The Day, and it is our daily article series where we go to great lengths trying to find the most interesting pictures for you out there. Today we have an image from Heckler [Read More…]
Photo Of The Day and today we have SIG SAUER AG and Concamo on offer. As usual, the latter does its best to hide, but the proven SG 751 SAPR in 7.62×51 made by SIG Sauer AG (Switzerland) does its best to stand out. The second firearm is a SG 553 BK in .300 Blackout [Read More…]
Sometimes a single photo is enough for our Photo Of The Day. Today is such a day. Concamo produces some really effective camouflage patterns and their images follow the same high standards. Most people think there’s just a dog in the picture above. But we have [Read More…]

What could be better than the Heckler & Koch HK433? Quite possibly the Heckler & Koch HK437 right above you, chambered in .300 Blackout (7.62x35mm). The rifle is also equipped with a VarioRay laser light module from Rheinmetall and an EOTech EXPS. You [Read More…]
In case you didn’t know, Heckler & Koch Germany now has Facebook and Instagram accounts. From time to time there are some interesting images there, like this suppressed Heckler & Koch HK417. We can guess that the suppressor is from Swiss B&T, but the [Read More…]
There is so much going on in Germany and their attempts to renew the small arms for their Army at the moment. If you think it’s confusing, you have our sympathies and full understanding. First, it was announced that the Haenel MK556 had won the tender to replace [Read More…]
A spotting scope may not be an absolute must for long range hunters and competitors, but it sure is a nice addition to your setup. To be able to call your or your friend’s shots to give him impact point corrections you also need a reticle, a feature that most [Read More…]
Secondary sights – everybody talks about them. TFB’s comments section is full of comments telling how important they are. But how often do we even zero them? Is your secondary sight zeroed, or do you just wait for the main optic to break (probably when you [Read More…]
Concamo have released a set of pictures that are just too cool not to share. That is the topic of our Photo Of The Day. Rumor has it that these pictures are taken on Heckler & Koch‘s private shooting and training area. This is the same place where we spotted [Read More…]
The Russian Snipers played an important role in the Eastern Front of World War II, and they continue to have this importance in more modern conflicts. In 1963 the semi-automatic Dragunov Sniper Rifle (SVD) was introduced, and in the pictures below you can see it in a [Read More…]
Recently TFB reported about the G26 7.62×51 mm “Short Range Sniper Rifle” that the German Army is looking for. Now the tender for the optics is out, so we can study the specifications of what they want. In short, they are looking for a high-end riflescope [Read More…]

As usual with images from Concamo you have to count more than once to find all the people in the picture, and even then you can’t be sure. These Photos Of The Day are no exception, but I think most of our readers will be busy looking at the firearms from Heckler [Read More…]
Today we take a look at a Special Forces Soldier with the Heckler & Koch HK416 in FDE (Flat Dark Earth). The uniform is with Concamo – Confusion camouflage, developed by Matthias Bürgin. H&K describes the HK416 A5 as “the next evolution in assault [Read More…]
Norway has a special relationship with the Heckler & Koch MP7 (from Maschinenpistole 7), as they are most likely the country that has bought most of them. If we trust Wikipedia as a source, the numbers are around 6,500 as it replaced (some of) the HK MP5s. Even [Read More…]
As this is The Firearm Blog it’s easy to focus on the firearms, the Heckler & Koch HK433 and the G95K (Heckler & Koch 416 A7) in this case. However, as Concamo supplied all the photos, the subject of Today’s Photos is actually their camouflage [Read More…]
Today’s Picture Of The Day shows a Heckler & Koch SFP9 (VP9), ready with optics. I think the red dot sight is a Leupold Deltapoint Pro. The HK has “SFP9 OR 9mmx19” typed on the side, to be exact. The laser-light module is called LLM-PI and made by [Read More…]
The first quarterly financial report for 2019 is in, and we conclude that Heckler & Koch continues to fight their red numbers. In July 2018 TFB reported that Heckler & Koch were in financial trouble, in Heckler & Koch fights for survival. It’s not the [Read More…]
Around these introducing words, you can see a zoomed-in version from one of the pictures from the Concamo photoshoot. Yes, that is a Heckler & Koch 417P and that’s at least the first time I’ve ever seen or heard about it. In fact, there’s only [Read More…]
