The Revolution knows that you work hard for your money and that testing new hunting and fishing gear in the lobby of your local Cabela's just doesn’t cut it when it comes time to drop some coin. So Jim, Trav and Mrs. Bunny, each week, put the industry's best new outdoor products to the test as they rank them in their Buy or Bust segment. They aren't in to cheap gimmicks, they don't care about what's sexy, they just want dependable gear at reasonable price and nothing else.
In this Buy or Bust Jim and Trav review the Cabela's Instinct Wing Shooter Layout Blind. This bad boy keeps you in an upright shooting position with its framed hammock seat that also holds you up off the ground. It has a 10" tarpaulin waterproof bottom that seals out wet, muddy ground, plus it features stubble straps that help keep you shielded from wary birds. Its flexible-frame window mesh is moldable to your liking and it comes with camo doors for added concealment, as well, even when the blind is open. Jim and Trav give the Cabela's Instinct Wing Shooter Layout Blind Two-Thumbs up and it's a heck of a deal for just $299.99 bucks.
In this Buy or Bust Jim, Trav and Mrs. Bunny review the Dixie Insulated Kennel Cover from Mud River Dog Products. Depending on size it retails between $132.00–$164.00 bucks and it comes in two color options - Brown and Realtree Max 5. It has a two-ply heavy-duty poly exterior shell and it's lined with MicroLite3 insulation, plus it comes standard with removable window flaps, multiple accessory/storage pockets, dual top carry handles, four D-rings for tie down and four sizes to choose from. This fall and winter don't let your beloved hunting dog suffer from the biting cold and make sure you take a listen to this week's Buy or Bust of the Dixie Insulated Kennel Cover from Mud River Dog Products.
In this Buy or Bust Jim and Trav succumb to the grandeur of the Burris Eliminator III Laser Scope and its endless capabilities. The 4-16x50mm Eliminator III Laser Scope that features a X96 Reticle, has a matte black finish and is one of the most advanced rifle scopes on the planet. It's more than capable of ranging and knocking down targets out to 1,200-plus yards and its ease of setup/sight-in time will blow you away - figuratively, of course. This Eliminator III Laser Scope from Burris retails for just about $1800 bucks, but it's certainly worth every last penny. Don't miss this lackluster review of a tremendous product.
In this Buy or Bust Jim and Trav relish the day when they finally get their hands on the all-new Bolt Action 783 Compact from Remington. Now its black synthetic stock contains a high nylon fiber content which gives the stock superior strength and rigidity. Also helping deliver those inherently tight groups is a precision button-rifled barrel and for shot control, it's equipped with the crisp new CrossFire trigger system that's user adjustable to suit your preferences. The 783 compact features a steel detachable magazine with a steel latch and standard calibers have a four round capacity and magnum calibers hold three rounds. Like with all Remington bolt actions, expect a lifetime of rock-solid reliability at a fair price. Its MSRP is $451.00 and that's a small price to pay for perfection. Don't miss this Buy or Bust and be sure to check out the all-new Bolt Action 783 Compact from Remington at www.remington.com.
In this Buy or Bust Jim and Trav thoroughly review the Hogue Single Rifle Bag that comes with a Front Pocket and Handles. The Hogue Medium Rifle Bag that the boys bought is black and it's approximately 10" tall and 40" long and it fits Jimbo's Ruger SR-556 Autoloading Rifle perfectly. It's padded, comes with convenient storage pockets, is lightweight and easy to handle/carry. The Hogue Medium Rifle Bag retails for around $144.95 and the boys a pleasantly surprised by its quality and usefulness. So mark down the Hogue Single Rifle Bag that comes with a Front Pocket and Handles as a surefire buy.
In this Buy or Bust Jim and Trav shoot straight from the hip when they talk about the all-new Ruger Bearcat. Now the Bearcat's classic styling and one piece frame is reminiscent of the old Remington Civil War-era revolvers, and its decorative unfluted cylinder displays a rollmark with a bear and cougar design. Jim and Trav love how lightweight and accurate the Bearcat is with its blade front and notch rear sights and they greatly appreciate the patented Ruger transfer bar mechanism and loading gate interlock which provides an unparalleled measure of security against accidental discharge. Jim and Trav give the all-new Ruger Bearcat a 5-star rating and they're positive that you won't regret adding it to your ever growing firearms collection. Be sure to listen to this week's Buy or Bust.
