August's Staff Picks are all about doing things a little differently. From Helle's premium H3LS laminated steel and the distinctive 3 Legged Thing Modfather, to Rokstad's innovative FMA bipod and Vector Optics' new green-reticle Frenzy Flex GMR, this month's team choices cover everything from Scandinavian craftsmanship to clever modern engineering. See what caught our team's attention this month.

The Vector Air website is getting a fairly substantial overhaul. We’ve been rebuilding the catalogue structure, adding new disciplines and use filters, introducing handedness options and creating dedicated sections for tools, equipment and our growing range of knives. The aim is simple: make a much larger catalogue easier to navigate, whether you’re an airgun shooter, airsofter, optics enthusiast or simply looking for the right bit of kit. And yes, a few things may break along the way.

July has brought a wave of standout products, and this month's Staff Picks celebrate the gear that's doing things differently. From affordable prism optics and lightning-fast LPVOs to an innovative carbon fibre bipod and one of the most distinctive moderators on the market, these are the products our team would happily spend their own money on. See what made the cut and let us know which one you'd choose.
