A good review by Moondog of the Vortex Viper PST Gen2... "The Viper PST Gen 2 is Vortex’s mid-tier LPVO (priced between the Venom and the Razor) and lowest-priced LPVO that offers true daylight bright illumination. You have a choice of an MOA or MILRAD crosshair reticle with calibrated hash marks for long-distance shots. The fiber optic embedded in the reticle provides a red dot bright dot at the center with 10 levels of intensity, powered by a CR2032 battery."
If you have been waiting for Moondog to come out with another optic review, here is one and he covers the Vector Continental 2-12x44... "After testing my first Vector Optics scope, the Continental 1-6×24 LPVO, I had such a positive experience I wanted to test their MPVO. Vector Optics is a Chinese scope brand not very well known in the US. Their top-tier Continental scopes use the same German Schott glass found in premium European scopes."
Ted Colegrove, more known as Primer in the airsoft community, has posted his gallery of amazing photos he took during the long running airsoft charity event, Operation Bad Blood 2025 hosted by Evike.com and Moondog Industries... "Every year I volunteer my time to take photos of OP: Bad Blood Series.
Operation Bad Blood 2025 is Evike.com's annual customer appreciation game, co-produced by Moondog Industries and EMR Event Park, taking place from 27th to the 29th of June 2025, at the EMR Event Park in New Milford, PA. A portion of the $60 per person admission fee will be donated to the JDRF. This non-profit event, open to ages 13 and up, includes field entry and a raffle ticket, with no tickets sold at the gate.
Is XED 6-36x56 the best 36x long range scope under $700? Moondog checks it out in this video... "Last year, Discovery impressed me with the ED-PRS Gen2 5-25×56 scope with its high-quality glass, features, and street price under $500. They told me they were working on a 6-36x version but had delayed production until they were satisfied with the results. The wait is finally over with the XED 6-36×56 with a street price of just under $700."
Is the CVLife Wolfcovert X MO1 the best budget optic for CCW? Moondog checks it out in this review... "Micro-reflex sights with reticles that can be changed between dots and circles are rare. Rarer still are compact red dots that fit on a compact pistol. CVLIfe’s WolfCover X M01 has that rare compact MRD with a changeable reticle that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg."
Moondog finally gets to lay his hands on the first optic offering from Olight, the Osight... "The OSight is unusual among micro-reflex sights for having an oversized lens window and for being powered by an internal rechargeable battery. Moreover, it is unique in that its lens cover is also its charger and a mini-powerbank capable of recharging the OSight up to 4 times without being plugged into a USB-C cable. Fully charged the unit can run for up to 70,000 hours on low brightness which is impressive."
Moondog got some good things to say about this LPVO from Arken... "The Arken EP8 is one of the best FFP LPVOs I’ve tested. So, I was very eager to get my hands on the LH6 when I first heard that Arken was releasing a 1-6×24 LPVO in second focal plane (SFP). I prefer SFP LPVOs because their reticle doesn’t change shape with magnification and I find 1-6x LPVOs to have more forgiving eye boxes than higher power models."
Moondog tries the Athlon Midas TSR1 Red Dot Sight and does some shooting Olympics style... "Athlon Optics recently sent me a Midas TSR-1 micro reflex red dot to test. It comes standard with a Picatinny mount, which got me wondering could I use this for Olympic-style shooting?
As Moondog's mainly into optics right now, his latest review covers the CVLife Wolfcovert 6MOA Green Dot... "CVLife is known for budget firearms accessories but recently, they’ve really stepped up the quality and design of their optics. The Wolfcovert 6MOA is an affordable RMR cut reflex sight available in red or green dot. It has a 20x28mm lens affording a wider field of view than typical CCW sized micro dots. The 6MOA sized dot and bright green help in acquiring and aiming the dot especially for those new to using dots on their pistols."
