Recently, test-driving the Land Rover Defender’s new hardcore Octa variant sent me into a tailspin about off-road suspension. The Octa adds nearly $100,000 to the price of a base Defender, and the wild BMW powertrain alone justifies much of that jump. But Land Rover also developed a hydraulic roll control system for the Octa, too, in place of traditional sway bars. Unlike, critically, the rest of the lineup that pairs sway bars with air suspension. And then there’s the Defender D7X-R, which raced at the Dakar Rally, with another fully custom suspension setup. After the D7X-R’s domination at Dakar, the…
Colorado Democrats are once again trying to Californicate the state’s gun laws by aping several restrictions the Golden State has already placed on 3D printing and home-built firearms. In addition to SB 43, which would require background checks to be performed on the sale of every standalone gun barrel, several House Democrats recently unveiled HB 1144, which prohibits manufacturing or producing a “firearm, unfinished frame or receiver, large-capacity magazine, or rapid-fire device (firearm or firearm component) by 3-dimensional printing,” as well as making it a crime to possess or distribute “digital instructions that may be used to program a…
The Beretta B22 Jaguar brings competition features to a .22‑LR pistol platform with an emphasis on adjustability, ambidexterity, and out‑of‑the‑box readiness. Offered in Tactical and Competition configurations, the Jaguar is clearly aimed at shooters running rimfires hard, whether in steel challenge, training, or entry‑level action competition. And, it’s a true left-handed (and right-handed) pistol. Ambidextrous by Design One of the Jaguar’s defining features is its tool‑less, reversible ejection system, allowing the pistol to be configured for left‑ or right‑side ejection without disassembly. Combined with a fully ambidextrous manual safety and a reversible magazine release, the platform makes few assumptions about…

The Trace has never come across a gun control law that the writers there didn’t support. I have yet to see a single piece out of the “newsroom” that wasn’t anti-Second Amendment on some level or another, and that’s not surprising. After all, they’re funded by Michael Bloomberg, who is as anti-gun as they come. So imagine my surprise when they decided to write about a group in Philadelphia that modeled itself on the old Black Panthers, “cleverly” calling themselves the Black Lions.Yeah, they really stretched.As eight men and one woman patrolled the streets of…
Bulgaria-based KJI continues to build out its shooting‑support ecosystem with the introduction of the K‑Series tripods, led by the K950 and K750, alongside two new mounting options: the Titan Head and Nomad Head. Together, the system is aimed at shooters who want modularity without sacrificing stability, whether in the backcountry, on the range, or in professional applications. Differences between tripods come down to the details of materials and manufacturing, and these are the top of their class. K950: Maximum Height, Maximum Load The K950 sits at the top of the K‑Series lineup. It’s a carbon‑fiber tripod designed to support heavy…
The Pulsar Symbion LRF DXT50 is a new multispectral binocular. That means it combines thermal imaging, digital day/night vision, and laser ranging into a single system. Recently, Pulsar introduced it as part of their new Symbion platform. The DXT50 is aimed at hunters and professional users who need continuous visibility across changing light and terrain. Rather than forcing users to move between separate optics, the Symbion integrates multiple sensing technologies into one binocular intended for continuous use from daylight through complete darkness. Dual‑Channel Imaging in One Housing At the core of the Symbion DXT50 is a 4K digital imaging system…
The New Mexico State Senate has approved a sweeping ban on common semi-automatic firearms legally owned and used by thousands of lawful citizens for sport, competition and self-defense. The measure, Senate Bill 17, would ban common gas-operated semi-automatic firearms, .50-caliber rifles virtually never used in crimes and firearm magazines holding more than ten rounds under the guise of labeling them all “extremely dangerous weapons.” The measure passed by a 21-17 margin, with all Republican senators and three Democrats voting against the bill. Startlingly, the definition of a “semi-automatic firearm” in the legislation takes in far more than just the AR-style…
China has warned Taiwan that it will be annihilated if the United States supplies ATACMS (Army Tactical Missile System) is deployed for use. Beijing warned Taiwan specifically against using HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) launchers armed with ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles on islets closer to the mainland than Taiwan. According to a report by RT, Taipei has ordered 82 M142 HIMARS systems and 420 ATACMS munitions under an $11.1 billion arms sale package announced by the US government last December. The ballistic missiles have a range of 300 km, meaning their deployment to the Penghu and Dongyin islands would…
To understand the new politics stance and other pro nationals of recent times, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement of the latest generation. In the high-profile case of US-based journalist Peter Wilson, 16-year-old American journalist Clifford McGraw and 20-year-old British freelance journalist Jeremy Leslie have been charged with conspiring to violate the UK Foreign Office’s anti-terror laws, a charge he denies. On Monday, UK attorney Andy McDonald revealed that he had spoken. “Few worry about catching Covid anymore, as it’s just a matter of time before they do,” says Tea, a teacher at a school for…

Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn The Jungfrau-Aletsch-Bietschhorn region is a magnificent area with high mountain ranges, glaciers and is actually the most glaciated part of the European Alps. Visiting this area can be done relatively easy by car and if you want to go up, by train up to 3,400 metres above sea level, the highest train ride in Europe, the Jungfrau Railway is very impressive (and expensive!). The area is on the UNESCO World Heritage list because of its unique and wide range of flora and fauna and geological importance regarding the creating of the High Alps.
