The Scrapper Combo Kit combines a multi-reticle red dot sight with a 3x magnifier, both mounted on a one-piece mount with an integrated side-flip for the magnifier. This integrated approach eliminates the need to purchase separate mounts and ensures proper alignment with different aftermarket mounts from different manufacturers.
The Scrapper red dot has a slightly larger 90mm tube offering a wide window. This allows for more flexible off-axis use at the sacrifice of size and weight. The unit has motion activation for the reticle, and the reticle offers 3 different configuration options. The controls work in the opposite of most red dots; the “down” button makes the reticle brighter.
The Paragon 3x magnifier is compact, well-built, and offers a bright and color-balanced view. The one-piece mount is machined from aluminum with a matte black finish that should hold up well against environmental exposure. Uniquely, the magnifier section of the dual mount offers a side flip hinge that can turn outward or inward (provided you have clearance on your rail).
Where the Scrapper Combo Kit really shines is in its value proposition. By bundling these components together, the Scrapper Combo costs less than buying the Paragon and Scrapper separately, while offering the unique Combot mount.

I’m not a fan of prism optics. While lighter than an LPVO, prisms have the same limited eye-box of an LPVO (or worse) without the advantages of changing magnification.
But the Vector Paragon micro prism changed my expectations. It has a crazy deep eye relief, and offers a sharper image than a red dot.
I’ve gone on the famous Universal Studios Tour since the 1970’s and experienced many of the changes over the decades. But on this tram tour was different and the longest.
Near the start of the tram tour through the Universal backlot, our all-electric tram experienced technical issues. We had a 5 minute delay at the start of the tour while the system rebooted. Later in Old Mexico, our tram electronics again broke down.
Our tram hobbled over to the Old West set and waited there for nearly half an hour for a replacement tram. We walked through the backlot set to our new tram and then continued our tour. To make up for the delay, we got a Quick Pass that we used to go on the Minions’ ride later.
The Upgraded SV202 are budget-priced sporting binoculars with ED glass (Extra Low Dispersion). Overall build quality was good, on par with more well-known brands like Athlon or Bushnell. They come with a generic padded case, captured lens covers, and built-in telescoping eye cups.
Equipped with ED glass, the optical image was bright and sharp with minimal chromatic aberration. Its specs compare favorably against the Vortex Diamondback 8×42. While not as high-contrast as Vortex, the SV202 is just as clear at half the price.

BRAND CONTEST CLUE
This American car company is the largest maker of electric-powered vehicles, and also a major manufacturer of home battery power, solar panels, and now robots.
DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE
SPACEX
Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX) is an Texas based aerospace and artificial intelligence company founded in 2002 by Elon Musk; with the goal of starting a human colony on Mars. Today it’s the most successful private space-launch company and the first to successfully and repeatedly launch and land fully-reusable booster rockets.
They have been contracted by NASA to service the ISS and to provide launch and hardware for NASA’s moon landing missions. In addition to rockets, SpaceX builds and operates the Starlink space-based internet service.
SpaceX filed an S1 and is expected to IPO sometime in June 2026 with an estimated value of over 1.75T.
SpaceX key financials
Connectivity (Starlink): $11.4 billion revenue and $4.4 billion in profit in 2025 (30% operating margin). Space (Launch/Manufacturing): $4.1 billion in revenue with an operating loss of $657 millino in 2025. AI & Compute: $3.2 billion in revenue but $6.4 billion operating loss in 2025
Comparing SpaceX to IPOs from Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Tesla (from Venice.ai)
Based on my research, SpaceX filed its S-1 prospectus in May 2026. Here’s the comprehensive comparison:

Key Observations
SpaceX is unprecedented in scale:
Revenue ($18.7B) is 5x higher than Meta’s at IPO
Valuation target ($1.75T) is 17x higher than Meta’s IPO valuation
Yet it’s losing $5 billion annually vs. Meta’s $1B profit at IPO
Historical Pattern:
Amazon & Tesla: IPO’d unprofitable with minimal revenue → Massive long-term gains (65,000% and 94,000%)
Google: IPO’d profitable with strong growth → Solid gains (12,000%)
Meta: IPO’d highly profitable with established business → Moderate gains (1,400%)
SpaceX Risk Profile: SpaceX combines the massive scale of a mature company with the losses of a growth startup. Its $4.9B annual burn rate and $1.75T valuation make it the most expensive unprofitable IPO in history.
This car company was founded in 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning. It is named is a tribute to the inventor and electrical engineer Nikola Tesla. In February 2004, Elon Musk led a group of investors and was named the company’s chairman. Under his leadership, this company went public and has a Market Cap of over $1T .
I tested Bear Creek Arsenal’s BC15 bolt action AR upper and it was far from a stellar experience. BCA is known for making budget-priced ARs and components, but they also have a reputation for budget-quality construction. Out of the box, the BC15 had a rough action, as you can see in my review video.
I received some helpful comments from BC15 owners to improve the action. I stripped down the bolt and thoroughly cleaned and lightly lubed it with CLP. Reassembling, I still found that the lugs would catch and the bolt would not release reliably. I disassembled the bolt again, this time I put a buffing wheel on a Dremmel and carefully polished the lugs until I could start to see shining metal. I was careful not to grind and round out the lugs. My goal was to mechanically simulate running the bolt hundreds of times, breaking it in. After reassembly, the bolt finally ran clean and smooth.
I mated the BC15 to my Anderson lower with a CA-compliant Hera CQR stock, the same lower I used to originally test the BC15. I swapped out a Discovery Optics ED-PRS 5-25×56 for a ED-LHT 3-15×50; a smaller and lighter scope that has the same clear Japanese ED glass. I also used a Discovery Optics Lightweight cantelever mount for a better eye relief.
At the range, the experience with the BC15’s bolt was night and day compared to my original video. The bolt ran smoothly as a bolt action should run out of the box. It makes me wonder why BCA didn’t polish the bolt lugs, as I did before assembling the BC15? At the factory, this would add perhaps 5-10 minutes of work. But BCA could increase the price of the already dirt-cheap BC15 by a modest $50, which is far less than they probably pay a workshop employee per hour. Just a thought.
The ED-LHT was also a better scope for my budget AR build. It is smaller and lighter than the ED-PRS while giving me more than enough magnification and clarity to see my 4″ target diamonds at 100 yards. Though neither cleaning the bore nor adding the ED-LHT improved my 2″ group, this is still tighter than any group I’ve shot with my normal semi-auto AR.
After my interview with Uintah Precision on my TMI livestream show I was pleasantly surprised to receive a package in the mail. Inside was a plain black round tin, and inside was the Victoris trigger. The Victoris is a high-quality, drop-in, single-stage AR trigger. It has a remarkable 1.5lb break with no take-up and a crisp, fast reset. The installation instructions came in a print-out sheet outside of the tin, which oddly read “Do not use anti-walk pins.”
I asked Uintah about this, and they said this was a workaround to prevent returns by unhappy customers. Those buyers who used anti-walk pins often failed to tighten the lock-in screws, which provide the correct tension on the trigger. This caused the trigger to break inconsistently and more heavily than 1.5 lbs. Technically, I could use anti-walk pins, provided I torqued the set screws.
Correctly installed in my budget Anderson lower with a 223 Wyld upper and a Discovery Optics ED-LHT 3-15×50 scope, I tested the setup at the gun range. The trigger was a delight. After gently resting my finger on the trigger, I barely pressed, and I would send my shot. This helped prevent me from accidentally jerking the trigger and provided tighter groups than I typically get with this rifle.
Note that an ultralight break removes the safety margin against accidental discharge needed for everyday or home-defense ARs. The Victoris’ premium price also naturally discourages the casual user from picking up one of these triggers. For bench rest or long-range precision AR setups, ultra-light triggers like the Victoris are ideal for improved shooting.
Olight upgraded their already best-selling OCLIP Pro with a new S model. It looks practically identical on the outside. The OClip is named for the large spring clip built into the body that allows the flashlight to clip onto clothing, gear, and objects; and has an embedded magnet to be attach to metal surfaces.
But the difference is more colorful. Instead of simply outputting a red beam for night vision preservation, the S model now offers RGB color; you can cycle between red, green, or blue color output.
The OClip is designed to clip on pockets, backpack straps or even a hat brim. But note that attached to a hat brim The OClip illuminates as much of the user’s face as it does items at hand reach.
Despite its limited beam direction and mounting choices, the design is compact, elegant, and affordable.
