Tactical Tailor – SBR First Look!
Thursday, April 11th, 2013Tactical Tailor’s SBR bag is designed with non-permissive environments in mind as SOF operators find themselves required to work with a lower signature. The bag is ideal for those who might find themselves infil/exfiling from an urban hide, intelligence gathering, or travel in and out of sensitive areas where “guns up” may draw unnecessary attention. The Tactical Tailor SBR bag is also ideal for SWAT operators who find they are transitioning rapidly from surveillance to mobile assault team role. The Tactical Tailor SBR bag is Berry Amendment compliant and has already drawn praise from SOF units the world over.
The Tactical Tailor SBR bag is capable of holding a M-4 style rifle with a 10.5”. The bad will also accommodate a SCAR rifle with the butt stock collapsed. Additionally, a 16” barrel M-4 may be carried broken down. Feedback from down range is that if you carry the mag seated in the lower when it’s broken down, you’ll back in the shooting business rather quickly. Finally, the SBR bag interior is lined with loop so the user can configure the load out for the specific mission.
The rifle is accessed from the outside using a concealed panel that opens upward. Through Tactical Tailor’s T&E process they found that an upward open flap allows wearers to “fight off of each other’s back” and eliminates nylon flapping around if the user isn’t able to immediately ditch the pack.
The pack comes with a cover that will convert the bag from a backpack to luggage to protect straps and buckles during travel or storage.
There is room inside the pack for a helmet with NODs , snivel gear and chow. The bag will be available in several nontraditional colors (although the photos feature Kryptek Typhon) and is designed to appear as a traditional trekker’s pack. There are two water bottle pockets on the sides to keep your hydration handy and close attention has been paid to the small features such as pack stays and rubberized fabric trim to give it a civilian appearance.
The Tactical Tailor SBR bag is designed to work in conjunction with TT’s low vis Sling Bag, Low Vis Plate carriers and other minimalist/modular pouches and organizers.
The SBR Bag will Retail around $350.00 with production being completed by the end of June.

Marine South – Trijicon CCAS
Wednesday, April 10th, 2013
Trijicon’s Continuously Computed Aiming Solution is a fixed 6 power optical sight. It increases first round hits and decreases ammo and training requirements. What’s more, the software firing tables loaded into the CCAS take the math out of the equation. You simply aim at the target and the corrected reticle’s chevron shows you where to point the weapon.
It reaches out to a maximum range of 2400m and with its onboard laser rangefinder and other sensors takes into account barometric pressure, angle, temperature and range, calculating everything except for wind. Additionally, the shooter can select weapon and ammo. Weighing in at 72 oz it is really more at home on a crew served weapon but it can be mounted to everything from the M4 carbine up through the M2 HMG. With its 4 CR-123A batteries, expect 10 hours of operation from the CCAS.
