Bushnell has introduced a pair of sighting solutions designed specifically with the legendary AK-47 platform in mind: the AK Optics 1-4X 24mm Riflescope and AK Optics 1x25mm Red Dot.

The AK Optics 1-4X 24mm Riflescope highlights targets with an illuminated 7.62x39 BDC reticle. It features 11 brightness levels, so operators will be able to quickly adapt to any setting. The 30mm-diameter, 1-piece aircraft aluminum tube is designed to withstand a beating worthy of the AK-47 itself.

The AK Optics 1x25mm Red Dot, meanwhile, is meant to help deliver fast, surefire shot placement in any scenario. The 3 MOA dot reticle covers three inches of your target at 100 yards, while the Amber-Bright high-contrast lens coating enhances detail and suppresses lens flare.

Both optics are waterproof and fogproof.

Rethinking Ragù: Venison Ragù Bianco

In Italy, ragù simply refers to a slow-cooked meat sauce. Bolognese—ragù alla Bolognese—is just one regional variation that originated in Bologna and traditionally incorporates tomatoes, wine, milk, and finely minced meat simmered low and slow until deeply rich and complex. But some of the most beautiful ragù dishes in Italy contain little or no tomato at all. This version uses axis deer simply because that’s what I happened to have in the freezer, but this sauce works beautifully with almost any species of venison.
