This week on TGC News, Ruger and Remington drop new stuff, Proof hits the Switch and
headache relief you probably aren't expecting!
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. First up this week is a product that is bound
to be a forehead slapper. Why didn't I think of that? Well here it is: Sightlines by Noisefighters.
The hearing protection cushions that work WITH your eye protection and don't give you
a headache after extended use. So what is it? Essentially its a set of cushions that
have a small channel cut out on the top to allow the side bars of your eyewear to fit
comfortably against your head. In theory this would cut down on headaches and pain in general
on your head caused by typical ear pro pushing the sidebars into your head with a good amount
of force. On the surface, they appear to be decent quality, all made in the USA. It's
impossible to truly tell if they will be comfortable or not, but this is definitely a great idea.
My only concern is the height of the channel on the cushion. My personal preference is
to bury my eyewear against the top of my ear. These things kind of force the sides to rest
higher and off the ear to get a good seal and control the sound levels that come in.
I get it but I will have to try it out to see if it works for me. I mentioned this to
Neal Brace, the creator of the product and he sent me this cell phone image to show that
it does fit correctly for him. As far as cost goes, in order to get a set of these you have
to back the Kickstarter for 25 bucks which almost doubles the cost of your ear pro in
certain cases, but I suppose the comfort could be worth it. If you have more expensive ear
pro this is a no brainer. They have a list on the website of a whole mess of ear pro
that these will function with. I mean my biggest complaint about the earpro that I use a lot,
the Howard Leight Impact Sports is that the cushions suck. They have some of the best
sound quality, so imagine if they had great cushions AND good sound quality. Would be
pretty cool right? The long and short of this is that it's a crowdfunding campaign and you
are not guaranteed to get the product in hand so play at your own risk. I also think that
because this is NOT gun specific, we most likely won't see it get shut down like we
did with the Automatic Mag-loader we talked about a while back. Time will tell if the
Sightlines get off the ground. And if you want to check out their kickstarter campaign,
there is a link in the description.
And in precision rifle news, Proof Research, best known for their super high quality carbon
fiber wrapped barrels, has just released a new Rifle system called Switch. Now the concept
of swapping calibers and barrels isn't exactly new, however, this is certainly one of the
more complete and simple versions out there. The gun as a whole weighs in at just over
7 lbs so it can be used for anything from varminting to big game hunting and then if
you want you can take the same rifle and go shoot a precision rifle match. It's a neat
system for sure. The way Proof describes it is like having a safe full of custom rifles
rolled into one. I'll try and break it down the best I can. The core of the rifle is the
Big Horn Arms action and floating bolt head. This allows the end user to swap the bolt
face for the various calibers in just a matter of minutes. And although it's a little more
complex than an AR15, it's still a relatively easy process to swap calibers. Once you're
down to the bare action, you screw in the barrel, check headspace, then tighten down
the barrel nut and cap it off, and then you re-check the headspace once more to confirm.
From there it's just a matter of reinstalling the bolt, stock and bottom metal, and of course,
using the appropriate magazine. Proof has a really good tutorial video if you want to
see an in depth look at how its done. The thing that I think is special about this system
is that not only are you going to have barrels available from the get go, unlike with certain
semi auto attempts at multi caliber systems but you have them available from one of the
best barrel manufacturers on the planet. Off the bat, you will be able to get this in 8
different calibers including everyones favorites 223, 308, 6.5 creedmoor and a few others in
both carbon fiber and steel offerings. How much is it Jon? I can hear you asking from
here. Yes this is going to hurt. The base rifle is $3,999. The barrels are not listed
on the website for sale yet BUT going from their other offerings, the carbon barrels
will go for about a grand and the steel ones for about 500 bucks. And that is not including
the optic or any other accessories. This is not cheap. But that was never the idea with
anything proof research makes. I would LOVE to see some independent accuracy testing to
see just how good these things are when you swap from barrel to barrel. They guarantee
½ MOA groups I'm curious to see if that will hold up. I'm also curious to see what you
guys think of a multi caliber bolt action system. Would you get into something like
this over buying multiple rifles?
Jamming more in this week the Big R is trying to stay afloat with a new gun. Dubbed the
R1 Limited, this new double stack 1911 is exactly what it looks like, a competition
ready 1911. The basics are fairly simple chambered in 9mm, 19 round mags, huge magwell, aggressive
VZ G10 grips, 5 inch barrel, fiber optic front sight, adjustable rear, ambi safety, and PVD
coating. All for the MSRP of 1250 dollars. Ruger, in an attempt to get into every week
of TGC news, has released some more incremental additions to their line up, in regards to
wheel guns, the SP101 can now be had in .327 Federal, the Gp100 can now be had in a 7 shot
version in the 2.5, 4, and 6 inch versions and the Redhawk can now be had with a sleeved
barrel which is said to increase accuracy, unknown about that. Beyond that, they've update
the Ruger Number 1 to be available in 450 Marlin and they've added 2 new versions of
the 10/22. One with a scope and case and one that's meant to be a competition/target type
rifle with a fancy wood laminate stock and lightweight tension barrel. It seriously seems
like they are adding new stuff every week. I don't hate it because it gives us new stuff
to talk about AND it seems like they have their finger on the pulse of what their customers
want. Its very rare for you guys to get upset with a new product from Ruger.
Our friendly fire question this week comes from the TGC Nation facebook group. Andrew
Wasserman asks, Should non military and first responders be able to own body armor? The
simple answer is Yes. Everyone should be able to own it. We should also be able to own armor
piercing ammo across the board. Let's take another one. John Skov asks what
is a good amount of ammo to keep on hand? How many different calibers do you keep stocked
up? I'm a bit of a different case because of what I do for a living. Right now I have
about 25 different calibers on hand and of those I have good quantities of probably 10-15
of them. I would say for the non-ridiculous gun guy, having at least a thousand rounds
of any main caliber you're shooting is a solid way to do things. Obviously when you get into
more expensive rounds like 300 win mag and things like that, it becomes a lot more difficult
to invest several thousands of dollars into keeping that quantity on hand, but you get
what I'm saying. My question to you guys this week, what is
the best gun related product that you've bought this year? Sound off in the comments below
