It was only a matter of time. The timeless concept of the soldier-for-hire free radical approach in providing unaffiliated military support, to rulers and governments sourcing increased military prowess, is alive and well on the digital realm. And this is not your grandparent�s classic George Soros approach to financing policy change, or an arm of China�s Peoples� Liberation Army utilizing �legitimate� front companies to fund defense research and maintain a semblance of morale.

Tactical optics like the Steiner PX4i 1-4x24 riflescoe have come a long way in a relatively short time period. A decade ago, for example, the choices for a tactical optic tended to be a red-dot optic�usually without magnification�or a 5-25X behemoth that cost more than a few house payments. But, many of today�s low- to mid-range tactical scopes not only provide actual magnification; they come with superior lens coatings, illuminated reticles and main tubes built to take some abuse.

If the gun gets taken away by a bad guy, the instructor says, "I promise you they're not going to be having any sympathy or going through the thought process you are."
