CVLife Bipod M-Lok Review The CVLife BiPod with M-Lok adapter is a budget bipod that was sent to me by CVLife to review. I was frankly surprised it performed well. I was able to print the same 3″ groups at 100yrds as I usually did with a rifle rest or sandbags. The bipod attaches to most standard rifle sling swivel pins. This model comes with an adapter plate that allows the bipod to be attached to a rifle with M-Lok handguards.
*DO NOT BUY VIPHIKER* I got scammed by a VIPHiker’s Ji Xuan who promised to send bore sighters to 10 of my fans who won the contest giveaway I announced up this summer. After I created my reviews and selected 10 winners, I contacted Ji Xuan multiple times by email. He never replied. I was forced to notify the winners and appologize that their Wolfroad boresighters would not be coming.
This Laser Bore Sighter kit is sold under the VIPHiker and Wolfroad brand names. The model currently sold on Amazon has an activation button and an internal screw-on battery chamber. The product was provided to me by VIPHiker.
Thanks to VIPHiker, I’ll be giving away 10 Wolfroad laser bore sighters. We will be randomly picking 10 lucky winners from among my Moondog R&D YouTube subscribers and my mailing list subscribers on this website. You could one of ten lucky winners. Entering is free and there are two ways to enter so do both and double your chances. The winners will be chosen on 8/31/21
This is the RGB Color version of the VL49 lightcube (which I previously reviewed). It has a built-in rechargeable battery and can produce the entire color spectrum of color as well as a range of white in color temperature from 2500-9000k.
The Parblo A610 is a 6″ x 10″ Digital Drawing Tablet that is feature-rich. We had to replace a similarly priced X-PEN Deco 01 V2 which only lasted us about a year before its USB-C port started to fail (we have to tape down and push in the cable to get it to work now). I certainly hope A610 lasts longer than that. And while Wacom tablets cost 4x as much, all of my Wacom’s still work (though I take a lot greater care of my peripherals than my daughter).

Fyland sent this pistol accessory adapter to review. I tried it out on my 22LR converted Glock 17 and it worked perfectly to allow me to attach a holographic red dot for bullseye precession. And it less than $20, it’s a no-brainer to pick one up if you want to add an optic to a semi-auto pistol with a rail that isn’t pre-drilled for a micro-red dot.
My Geko Gear (yes, that’s the company name) sent me their most popular security bodycam to review. Unlike my previous bodycam reviews, this unit is professional grade equipment. It’s rugged and waterproof (to rain and sweat); just don’t make my mistake and shoot it with a high-pressure water hose.
I misread the IP65 rating and got moisture jetted into the unit which fogged it up. I had to wait a day while I dried it out before I could film my conclusion video. You can see some residual fogging in the nigh-time video samples.
Overall it has excellent image resolution for a camera in the bodycam category. It won’t compete with the current crop of GoPro, Osmo or current generation smart-phones in terms of video quality but it is as good or better than bodycams and dashcams in the +$200-$400 category. My Geko Gear also makes dashcams from which, I presume, their bodycams base their technology.
While my personal use for a pro-grade bodycam is limited (I don’t work in Security or Property Management), I will likely use this as on the gun range where it’s +13 hours of battery life is perfect for a down-range target camera.
Brit vs Merica I compare Eley Target groups versus Federal Range Pack “blue box” 22LR in my nothing-fancy stock Ruger 10/22 takedown at 50yrds. Ammo variety is pretty slim at all of my local stores. This ammo was donated by my buddies who wanted to see how their ammo shot in my videos.
Eley Edge 22LR vs Aguila Super Extra HV at 100yrds. We know that expensive match-grade ammo shoots better than cheap bulk pack ammo at 50yrds. But does that difference still apply at 100yrds? I compare the performance of both ammo in a typical factory stock Ruger 10/22 takedown. Special thanks to Harry S.

An unexpected visitor was spotted at the Santa Clara Field Sports Park rifle range. The bird was unfazed by the gun fire around it. Wild game is not allowed to be hunted on county park land that surrounds the range. Wild turkey and hogs have grown accustomed to grazing unmolested around the rifle and pistol range and have gotten so bold as to walk onto the range itself.
