The Primary Arms Platinum 1-8×24 FFP Optic – up on Mag Life

The first LPVO I had on my SCAR 17s was a disappointment and couldn’t even get zeroed because it broke in less than forty rounds of 7.62×51 ammunition. The SCAR 17s is notorious for breaking optics due to the way it manages recoil. It is known for being a very low recoiling platform for the 7.62 Nato Cartridge…for the shooter that is, but the recoil has to go somewhere and that results in a lot of broken glass. So, I looked to the Primary Arms Platinum 1-8 x 24.

Read my thoughts on the optic over on Mag Life.

SHOTrep: High Risk Training

By: Fifty Shades of FDE

When it comes to plate carriers, there’s a lot of options to choose from. I stopped by the High Risk Training booth and took a look at their new HRAC II Maximus Plate Carrier and Chest Rig system.

The guys at High Risk Training are new to the market when it comes to making kit. They come from the tactical training business and decided to make gear that would fit their needs as well as those in the military and law enforcement communities that they train.

The HRAC II Maximus system was developed with the input from MSG(ret) Howard “Mad Max” Mullen, who is also in the US Army Ranger Hall of Fame.

They are made overseas to keep the cost down and keep it affordable for those that need quality kit at the right price point. I was able to take a close look at the carriers and chest rigs in the booth and they looked and felt like quality products. I wore the HRAC II and it was very comfortable and allowed for full arm movement.

Placard Options

Most plate carrier systems are modular these days with fast clips and placards. What makes the HRAC II Maximus system stand out is the back panel can be configured in more ways than one. You can mount whatever pouches you need based on your mission requirements. You won’t have to choose one pouch or another, it can be divided up with many different options so there is more versatility available.

The chest rig is also innovative, the placard could be removed without taking the straps off and disassembling the rig. It makes the plug and play between chest rig to plate carrier less of an either or system and makes it much easier to switch back and forth.

Here’s HRT’s description of the HRAC II:
The HRT HRAC II is a multirole versatile plate carrier that is designed to be extremely modular allowing operators to navigate obstacles. The HRAC II is easy to don and doff, while holding life-saving plates. The carrier is made from 500 Denier Cordura treated with DuPont Teflon and has an integrated Duraflex Buckle attachment system on the chest to instantly don/doff additional equipment based on your operational needs. Our proprietary dual back panel design features dual zipper sections to allow users to configure the back of the carrier with a multitude of panel options based on your specific tasks.

Light lubricant is needed after applying since it acts as a degreaser. It comes in three sizes, from a few ounces to a gallon bottle.

SHOT Show 2019: Wild Things Gear

By: Fifty Shades of FDE

I met with the guys at Wild Things Gear, who make high quality gear for extremely cold weather conditions. Their primary customers are from the Special Operations Community to fit their specific needs who requested gear to fit the climates that they were working in. Their products aren’t for everyone, it’s made with a purpose for those who need to be able to function in conditions that most people don’t ever go to.

They came out with the Shadow Watch Kit that focuses on the needs of those in static roles that need to stay warm. These include snipers, observers, artillery troops, JTACs and others with similar mission objectives. Wild Things Gear got a lot of insight from Jim Gilliland, founder of Shadow 6 Consulting in developing a core kit that includes eleven parts that includes a duffel bag that stores it all.

The Shadow Watch Kit consists of:

Power Stretch®: Expedition weight 1⁄4-zip pullover top, watch cap and shorts for packable, next to skin warmth without the bulk.

Activet Flex Jacket: Highly breathable hooded jacket designed for the mobile warrior. Full stretch, DWR/ NIR, and high abrasion resistance.

Soft Shell Pants S.O.: Fleece lined, 4-way stretch pants designed with performance, durability, and warmth. Gusseted crotch and articulated knees provide enhanced comfort and movement.

Wind Shirt | Wind Pant: Extremely compressible and highly versatile wind shirt and pant made of 30D nylon with DWR/NIR protection.

Survivalist Poncho: PU coated nylon poncho, also functions as shelter or ground cloth – 56” x 87”.

Knuckle Roaster-FR: Packable hand warmer and storage. Allows user to maintain hand dexterity in the coldest environments.

Shelter/Poncho Liner: Quilted DWR nylon liner for use as an insulated blanket or poncho liner – 72” x 96”.

GOAT Bag: 57L duffel bag to keep the kit organized, protected and ready to go.

I got to see all of the contents during my meeting with the guys from Wild Things Gear and it was definitely high quality with a lot of thought put into every piece.

If you’re at SHOT 2019, you can visit them in the NEXT Pavilion #N-117. If you’d like a private meeting like the one I was in, please call 828-421-4349 or 757-513-0445.
