This week on TGC News, Aimpoint's new hybrid, Ruger's new MPR and I'm answering your
questions!
Welcome back to another episode of TGC News, the only gun news show that covers things
you actually care about, My name is Jon Patton.
A couple quick things before we get started, The SHARE act did pass committee and will
be heading to the House floor, However, I am going to let Adam cover that in depth when
he gets back from vacation.
Also there is a sig recall on the Sig 716 DMr, 516 Carbon Fiber and m400 predator all
with 2 stage triggers.
Apparently the trigger itself was improperly heat treated and over time can cause issues.
Details on the recall will be in the description.
Now, the news.
When it comes to red dot optics, Aimpoint has been one of the top dogs for a long time.
Often being the brand that everyone gets compared to,.
I mean look at the MicroT1 and all of the more affordable copy cat optics out there.
They build optics that are going to work no matter what, but you're going to pay for that
feature.
And that doesn't really change with the introduction of the new Comp M5.
I actually did a review of the Comp M4S back in 2013 and gave it high praise, the new M5
is a refinement in a few different ways.
First, instead of using a AA battery, they've updated it to use a single AAA battery.
What does that mean?
The battery tube on the exterior doesn't need to be as big and therefore the overall
profile of the optic shrinks.
The M4 used to run for a claimed 80,000 hours on the AA while the M5 runs for an estimated
50,000 hours on the AAA battery.
Not that big of a deal because I think most people switch batteries far more often than
that.
Beyond that battery change, they've trimmed the weight by shrinking the sight itself.
It appears to me as if it's a hybrid of the MicroT1 and Comp M4.
I also really like what they've done with the mount.
It's a much smaller package that doesn't stick out or dig into gear.
Beyond that it's waterproof to 150 feet,has 4 Night vision settings with 6 settings for
daylight use and all of the standard stuff you're used to from aimpoint.
Its built like a tank and is leaner than the previous generations.
That's great.
Here's the kicker though, MSRP for the model with the QD mount is $1068 dollars.
NOT cheap.
But then again, this isn't meant to be the cheapest out there.
There are tons of companies running the race to the bottom when it comes to pricing.
Aimpoint has aimed this product at military and law enforcement use worldwide, so I'm
not shocked at all by that price.
What do you guys think?
Are you hungry for this new optics hybrid?
Ruger has just announced another Ar15.
And before you yawn, hear me out on this one.
Its an interesting set up.
First, it has a light weight 18" cold hammer forged barrel with 5R rifling and a 1 in 8
twist.
So it's a good quality barrel with unopposed rifling and a medium twist rate.
Beyond that, it has a rifle length gas system.
So it'll be a soft shooter.
They also decided to use a magpul SL stock and MOE grip, rugers own 15 inch MLOK forend
similar to that of the Ruger Precision Rifle, and a radial muzzle brake.
They also utilized a Ruger Elite 452 trigger.
Seems to be a well rounded gun, and thats why its called the MPR or Multi Purpose Rifle.
MSRP is set at 899 which isn't bad for what you get with this rifle.
However, todays AR market is at rock bottom so you may end up seeing this thing go for
MUCH cheaper once it hits dealer shelves.
And in more product update news, IWI has announced that they will no longer sell the Tavor SAR
because people like the Tavor X95 a lot more.
Michael Kassner, the VP of sales and marketing for IWI said the market has spoken and it
prefers the X95.
We will phase out the tavor SAR production over the next few months and focus on the
X95 as well as the Tavor 7 that was recently announced.
The Tavor 7 is basically the SAR beefed up to accommodate 7.62 Nato cartridge which should
be really neat.
I'll be curious to see that go up against the 308 MDR.
That being said, if you're a fan of the SAR, you only have limited time to grab one from
your dealer.
This week our good guy with a gun story is from a small town called Avis that lies in
the middle of nowhere in central Pennsylvania.
It's about 3 hours northwest of where I live.
The basic breakdown is that at about 2 am on a wednesday morning, some jerk kicked in
the door of a trailer home and left in a body bag.
Pretty open and shut case.
The resident who was not identified is not facing charges.
The interesting thing is that the fiance' of the deceased lives at the home that was
broken into with a few children, and yet somehow this guy got shot by someone who was staying
with his fiance'.
Sounds like some maury povich kind of stuff going on there.
The moral of the story is that kicking in doors in the middle of the night is not a
good idea in Pennsyltucky.
Which leads me to my question for you guys, what is the weirdest thing that has ever woken
you up in the middle of the night?
We have a ton of great friendly fire questions this week.
First up, Mikey Big-ums asks, what's up with holster companies not having offerings for
the lesser known light companies such as Olight?
Well think of it this way.
They need to buy a light to use in the molding process.
They have to make sure that the money they spend on that can be made up in the selling
of holsters.
If that light isn't very popular then they may waste money on something that they only
used once.
I know there are some companies out there that offer a "whatever you want" type
thing and there are also others that just have a few set models.
Keep looking around and you'll find what you need.
Our Next question is from Kyle Meier and he says with brick and mortar companies going
out of business where do you see firearm retail headed?
Thats a great question.
I've been thinking about this lately and I want to make a prediction.
Within 10 years, gun stores will become a place for last minute items, limited ammo
and gun transfers and that's about it.
Gun retailers as a whole are not adapting fast enough to the age of the internet and
a lot of them are falling behind.
Can they catch up and do well?
Absolutely.
Will all of the be able to do that?
Nope.
Retail as a whole in the US is changing and gun shops are not immune to the changes.
I think in a lot of cases, shops may only be able to survive on transfers because they
are regulated by law.
And our last question this week, Les Ortiz asks, Bolt Action or Semi auto for entry level
long range and 308 or 6.5 creedmoor?
I'll tell you what I did, I grabbed a Ruger Precision in 308.
Why?
Because I wanted to be able to throw a bunch of rounds down range without paying out the
nose for them and I wanted to dial in my fundamentals over time.
I feel like starting out with a Ferrari can sometimes be a detriment and bad habits can
be reinforced.
Now, my friendly fire question to you guys, what is the most important thing that helps
you decide on which gun to buy?
