Adventure and personal discovery—those are the first words I utter whenever someone asks what drives me to write a good feature story. There are many factors involved in any hunt: geography, topography, the species hunted, weather, equipment, new people one might meet. As I grow older, it becomes important to find and take note of such factors in a hunt because, let’s face it, I’ve hunted a lot, and I’ve written a lot of feature stories.

Sometimes I think I should pinch myself. My job exposes me to all kinds of new guns, ammo, optics and gear priced high to low. Sometimes I love the stuff, and I vow to add it to my collection. Sometimes I could not care less about seeing another AR or another bino harness or pack or pair of boots. But every time I handle thermal optics, I am reminded just how much new technology is to be discovered, and just how much I would love to have such equipment in my repertoire.

The Trijicon MRO,, its Miniature Rifle Optic, set a standard for wide field-of-view red-dot rifle optics with exceptional repeatability, durability and clarity when it was introduced in 2015, and it’s no wonder it’s been a top choice of hunters, shooters, law enforcement and military ever since. Now, it’s new and improved. The new MRO SD sports improved optical performance with a reengineered objective lens and a crisp 2 MOA center dot optimized for use with Trijicon’s 3X MRO Magnifier.

I couldn’t believe the gator was still alive. Writhing violently (you could say uncontrollably) would not be what I would do if I was just shot in the back of the head with a 150-grain Swift Scirocco. But at that instant I could focus only on reloading as Sage hurriedly said, “Shoot him again. Shoot him again.”That was the plan. I never took the rifle from my shoulder as I worked the bolt and tried to keep my sight picture looking alongside the Burris scope at the muzzle of the Franchi Momentum.
