Trijicon's famed ACOG series now comes in a version that takes a single AA battery - with a run time up to 12,000 hours. With two calibers (5.56 NATO/.223 Rem. and .308 Win./7.62 NATO) and three reticle styles (chevron, horseshoe and crosshair), there's a battery-powered ACOG to suit most needs.
MSRP: $1,548.
.308 Win. is the starting point for boutique and wildcat cartridges of all shapes and sizes
Ideal for appendix carry, this new hybrid holster packs a lot of nice features.
A full-featured thermal optic with a lot going for it.
Larger facilities mean more choices for American gun owners.
Gear designed for the tactical market that performs at a higher level.
For me, one of the many bonuses of this gunwriter business has been the opportunity to meet and become friends with a number of the firearm enthusiasts of an earlier generation; legendary figures such as Frank Hamer Jr., Bill Jordan, Bill Toney, Col Walter Walsh and the subject of this column: COL Rex Applegate.
