The DNT Hound is a compact thermal monocular that integrates a laser rangefinder and an onboard ballistic calculator. It offers impressive thermal performance with a 640 core and 35mm lens, capable of distinguishing details in various environments. The ballistic calculator provides accurate holdovers in MRAD or MOA, making it a valuable tool for hunters and long-range shooters, especially when paired with non-smart optics. While it excels in functionality, Mac users may encounter data transfer limitations.

This expert guide from NRA America's Rifle Challenge, featuring Kyle Lamb, details how to zero an AR-15 rifle for various shooting scenarios. It covers initial zeroing at 100 yards, understanding height over bore, and advanced dialing techniques for longer ranges using specific ammunition and scope adjustments. The instruction emphasizes practical application for competition divisions.

This video provides an expert-level review of the EoTech OGL C, focusing on its technical specifications and market positioning. The speaker, demonstrating high authority, critically analyzes the $2,800 MSRP and compares its civilian-grade IR illuminator divergence (23-105 MRAD) to full-power versions and competitors like the Holosun IRIS and Sentinel laser. Future testing on a SCAR 17 is planned to assess durability.

This guide, drawing from an expert firearms instructor, breaks down Minute of Angle (MOA) and Milliradian (MRAD) for firearm optics. It explains their mathematical underpinnings, practical applications in ranging and adjustment, and the importance of matching reticle types (FFP/SFP) with turret systems. The instruction emphasizes choosing a system based on user preference and application, highlighting MRAD's prevalence in competition and MOA's tradition in hunting.

This episode of the Backfire Accuracy Challenge pits a factory Tikka T3x against custom builds at ranges up to 1,000 yards. Matt's Tikka, upgraded with an MDT chassis and Nightforce scope, won the competition with 15 points, demonstrating the potential of a factory action. Competitors faced challenges with target acquisition and ballistic data at longer distances, highlighting the importance of precise setup and shooter skill.

This review covers the DNT ThermNight 635R, an all-in-one optic combining thermal imaging, digital day/night vision, an IR illuminator, and a laser rangefinder. The reviewer highlights its versatility for hunting, search and rescue, and law enforcement, noting its 640 thermal sensor's identification range up to 300-400 meters and a 20x digital zoom. While acknowledging a slight delay in the digital display during rapid target transitions, the reviewer praises its intuitive interface, impressive battery life, and significant cost-effectiveness compared to dedicated thermal scopes.

This guide highlights essential, often overlooked items for a range bag, focusing on tools that enhance accuracy and target management. Professional shooters recommend carrying a tape measure for precise distance and group size measurements, crucial for zeroing optics using MOA or MRAD adjustments. A staple gun is also vital for securely mounting targets, preventing common issues like shooting at the ground.

This video explains the fundamental differences between Minute of Angle (MOA) and Milliradian (MRAD) as angular measurement systems used in firearm optics. It clarifies that neither is inherently superior, but rather a tool suited to different shooting styles and preferences. The instructor emphasizes matching reticle and turret systems and provides a framework for choosing between MOA and MRAD based on shooting discipline, personal preference, and current trends.

This video demonstrates a critical safety failure: an uncommanded discharge on a Barrett MK22 rifle. The demonstration, conducted by an instructor with high authority and expertise, shows the rifle firing as the bolt is closed, without trigger manipulation. This is a serious malfunction requiring immediate attention and adherence to strict safety protocols.

This guide details a technique for manipulating the bolt on a Barrett MK22 (MRAD) when encountering resistance or a potential bolt-sticking issue. It emphasizes the need for firm, deliberate action to cycle the action after a shot, especially during night fire operations. The insights are derived from observing a critical failure scenario and the shooter's subsequent actions to continue engagement.

This video demonstrates a critical safety malfunction with the Barrett MK22 sniper rifle, where the safety selector became stuck and the rifle discharged while the selector was being manipulated. The speaker, identified as a subject matter expert by their handling of USSOCOM-standard equipment and direct demonstration of mechanical failure, critically assesses this as a major mechanical safety flaw. The incident is compared to failures seen in the Sig Sauer P320.

This analysis details an uncommanded discharge event involving a Barrett MK22 (MRAD) sniper system. The rifle fired as the bolt was closed, with the shooter's finger off the trigger. The video highlights a potential mechanical failure, emphasizing the importance of firearm safety protocols and awareness of potential malfunctions even with professional-grade equipment. The expert assessment notes the shooter's high authority level and immediate identification of the safety issue.
