Our fifth loadout is our last precision-focused configuration. We only made a few significant changes from our previous setup. The first and most obvious change we made was the optic. We swapped out our NXS 2.5-10 for this newer Nightforce NX8 2.5-20. Unlike the NXS, this optic is first focal plane, making the MIL reticle […] Keep Reading

We painted the rifle in our classic green/black color scheme for our fourth configuration. We also decided to stray away from the LPVOs we’ve been using and step into a larger optic with more features. Our optic of choice for this round was the NightForce NXS 2.5-10 with a Geissele scope mount. This NXS has […] Keep Reading

At the end of the second day, we decided it was time to change things again. When we returned from the range, we took everything off the gun and applied a generous coat of Team Wendy Coyote touch-up paint. We let the rifle dry overnight and wasted no time kitting it out the following day. […] Keep Reading

We chose the EOTECH Vudu 1-10 in a Geissele 34mm scope mount. This optic setup performed well on our SCAR 17, so we figured we’d give […] Keep Reading

To do this, we swapped a few things around and used an optic and light setup that we were familiar with to establish a good baseline. The EOTECH EXPS 3-0, and its […] Keep Reading

One of which is being able to engage at distances further than a standard 5.56 rifle. This generally means moving up to a full-powered cartridge like 7.62×51, more commonly known as .308. Still, as we looked further […] Keep Reading

We often receive questions like “what do you think of __ gun.” While plenty of “influencers” do product reviews, many don’t test in a way that replicates actual customer use. We’re here to change that. In what is likely our most expensive media project to date, we tried to take this Aero M5 through 5,000 […] Keep Reading
