Mojo Outdoors Baby Mojo Hen


Effective... but
I know the large version works so I am convinced that the smaller, lighter version will be equally effective - and easier to transport. I happened to have an extra remote control so I was curious if it would fit into the smaller version. It did but just barely. In the small version there is barely enough room to slide in the remote receiver with the velcro affixed to it. The remote is handy to have. The wing motion is most effective in low light. My hunting buddy is convinced that in bright sunshine the motion spooks the ducks. Be aware that the wings on the small Mojo are a sort of honey combed plastic rather than the aluminum wings on the full size version. Remains to be seen how sturdy they are but on plus side they may float unlike the big Mojo wings which will sink like a rock. Definitely should find a spare wing nut for the wings in case you drop and lose that in the dark. And definitely don't drop the Mojo in the water - can attest that these things are not waterproof - however...
Pretty disappointed
This is not my first mojo. I have an older one that has held up well. I used this mojo once and the switch circuit quit. I just hardwired it to the battery clips. The post that the newer ones come on is weak, thinner and short. Pushing it into a sandy bottom using the provided 'step' it collapsed on itself and the 'spring' detent between sections just popped off.
In my old one the post is a circular dowel like tip that sticks into the belly of the mojo and it can rotate with the wind. The newer powered mojo comes with a prefixed square mount on the belly of the duck that has to insert into the square of the post. And for $9 you can buy an adapter that lets your mojo swing with the wind. For $1.50 I used a couple PVC pieces and made my own sway with wind adapter. If the movement didnt work so well on the birds I would return it. They definitely cheapened down the product while increasing the price.
Plastic brittle and breaks in cold weather
I was excited to get this thing in the water, but before I had, one of its feet snapped off. To make things worse, I was cradling it in my arm as I was picking up my other deeks and the other foot snapped off! Bottom line: the plastic used on the feet is brittle in cold weather (I was hunting in 25 degrees). Why in the world could they not have used a more rubbery plastic on the feet that didn't break off? BECAUSE then they couldn't sell you replacement feet! Cool product potential, but for the price I think they need to improve the quality a lot.

NcStar 4X32 Rubber Compact with Red Laser/Blue Illuminated/P4 Sniper/Green Lens/Quick Release (SRTP432G)


WOW! Crisp, well made and LOVE IT
I was skeptical about buying an NCSTAR for my AR. I didn't have the big bucks to buy an EOTECH or other high end scope, so I took a chance. I can't say for long term reliability but out of the box this thing was almost DEAD on. Took it to the range yesterday and did 3 shots at 50 yards. Took a look and I was 1 inch low and 1 inch left. 1 adjustment later and I was putting bullets inside of bullet holes (with a bench rest) LOVE THIS SCOPE. I was ready to try this and return it if I didn't think it was worth the money, but after 400 rounds yesterday on my AR, it held true all day long. It is a great scope. I will say I was looking at several scopes before buying this and ALL of them I was looking at were 3-9, but somehow I ended up with this, being only a 4x. I would love this scope even more if it was a 3-9, and I'm sure if I look they might make one like this in a 3-9 but honestly, you really don't need it for shooting 50-200 yards. I do like the built in laser, although not...
Nice quality scope half the price all the quality!
Easy to sight in, and my rifle was 4.5 inches bore to scope center! Awesome fit and finish.Laser is not super powerful but for close quarters in low light plenty good.
Dave
Very nice scope for the money.
This scope works as advertised.Zeroed it in with only a few shots. The scope works great, and is a great price compared to some of the other high end scopes.

Legendary Whitetails Outfitter Hoodie Black/RTAP Medium


Perfect
I can't say enough good things about this, fit is perfect and true to size the quality and finish are outstanding, extremely comfortable and very warm this is the best hoodie I have ever owned and it will get much wear so I have already purchased three more because I know this will get worn out this coming winter. You can't go wrong with this. Hope this review was helpful.......
Favorite hoodie i own
Comfortable and warm. It doesn't choke your neck due to a little more fabric cut out around the throat. A must for cold weather.
AWESOME HOODIE!!!!!!!!!!!
I absolutely love this!!!! it is very warm, and i have had so many compliments on it.....plan on puchasing a couple more!!!! definately recommend to anyone!!!!!

Mako Tactical Folding Grip (Black)


Mine didn't come with a QD lever or button. Grip + for glock, - for AR15
Bought this for my AR-15 and knew it would look cool on my glock if I put it on, as the pictures show.

Well, the problem is that there's no quick detach lever, or quick detach button. Also, it's not that sturdy when it's down. When I apply forward pressure it locked forward a bit but also can move back. Don't get me wrong, I love mako products. And for people that are using this as an attachment with an SBR/glock mod and they have the tax stamp, etc...I'm ALL for it. Great product for just that. But there are better grips out there for an AR-15 that are more sturdy, more comfortable, with storage for tac-light batteries, etc. I think this only makes sense for a glock owner, making it into a legal SBR, or if they are bent on having all mako products on their AR-15, etc. Just my two cents. Hope someone found it helpful.
Mako Tactical Folding Grip
Great forward grip. Low profile and light weight. What I also like is it feels good to hold onto in the folded position also.
Debatable AOW
It is questionable as to whether adding this to your handgun would make it an AOW. I spoke with 2 ATF agents last week and asked them about this. Their reply was that it did not make the pistol an AOW. If the buttstock is added it becomes a SBR and therefore requires registering with ATF. My suggestion would be to not take as gospel anything anyone on line says about certain things. CHECK FOR YOURSELF. Talk to an ATF agent and find out for yourself. They are friendly and more than willing to answer your questions. It seems that it is all a matter of interpretation. According to strict interpretation of the BATFE rules, a Taurus Judge revolver could be considered an AOW since it is a pistol that fires shot shells. Go figure. Best choice. Do the research yourself by talking to the people that know.

SentrySafe SFW123GDC 1.23 Cubic Feet Electronic Fire-Safe, Gun Metal Grey


Ours got stuck in the locked position: had to hammer it open
I can't speak to how fireproof this safe might be. But I can tell you about the lock mechanism, from cold hard experience, as this has the same internals as similar models. After ours broke, we could not even dispose of it: we can't risk that someone else might access our computer backups.

The official recommendation from SentySafe appears to be "tap it with a rubber mallet, spray wd-40 in, and try again. We did, and finally managed to get the stripped and nearly useless mechanism to budge. The construction on the mechanism is inferior consisting of a mix of pot metal held in place by plastic guides. This is cheap made in China junk that just won't stand the test of time. Only buy it if you don't plan on opening or closing it very often.
Poor Quality
The safe was shipped with a 2" ding on the corner of the safe. The shipping box showed no damage. The dinged area was sanded and painted - a real quality blunder on Sentry Safe's part. I would ship it back but it isn't worth the hassle.

The handle was flimsy - I am concerned that it might break unless I am careful with it.
Stuck after a year
Just out of warranty, and the solenoid that unlocks after punching in the code is inop. Items are stuck in safe - customer service says that I can 'hit the safe with a mallet to open it'. Dont buy this piece of junk.

Ultimate Arms Gear Lightweight Edition AR15 AR-15 M4 Carbine Rifle Quad 4-Weaver / Picatinny Rail Aluminum Handguard + Covers


Great Handguard for the price
Yes there are expensive handguards out there with some really cool designs but do you REALLY want to pay $100+ for a handguard?
This handguard is right for the money. It allows you 4 rails to attach anything and everything to your rifle without going broke. All tools needed are included. The only thing I would suggest is to get the delta ring compression tool to accompany it. That tool makes changing handguards really easy.
Great fit.
The railed hand guard arrived quickly and fit perfectly. It was very easy to install. Should come with mounting instructions as it took me a couple minutes of looking at it and the rifle to figure out which way it goes. Quality seems to be very high. Very good fit and finish. Much lower cost than competitive products.
Great Quad Rail
So far so good the rail feels nice and sturdy on my spikes tactical AR-15. I didn't want to spend the money for a free float but I wanted a rail that looked good. It was easy to install and came with all the parts. If your looking for a good rail that's not expensive I would definitely consider this one.

Officially Licensed ALAMO MC-AB01 Hunting Knife 17.25-Inch Overall


EXCELLENT REPRODUCTION
The Bowie arrived on time and in excellent condition except for a loose screw. Not a problem that a small screwdriver and some Locktite didn't solve. This Bowie is a faithful reproduction of the movie version and is probably about as close to Jim's own knife as one is likely to get with the vagaries of history and fancy. I like it.
Alamo Bowie Knife
This is an excellent knife. It is very similar to the one in the Movie "The Iron Mistress" which is the one I was seeking.
Excellent product with some niggling points though!
What a gargantuan hefty piece of cutlery!. After seeing the movie "The Iron Mistress" from 1952, I was desperate for a knife that resembled the one in the movie, but alas, relicas of that knife are often made by high class knife smiths, who are prone to charge you an arm and a leg. When this knife came upon the market, I made the decision to make a purchase solely because this is the only mass produced knife that roughly resembles the one from the movie, but is not a 100% exact replica. Even so, it is also only a knife with a passing resemblance to the one used in the 1960 "Alamo". The knife itself is 1st class in quality. The blade is top quality stainless, whilst the fittings are brass plated, with a very nice handle with "Jim Bowie" plaque. Scabbard is really top quality and does not have the silly embossing anywhere, indicating country of origin or the films it was supposed to be seen in (unlike the poor Rambo knives also made by this firm, "Hollywood Collectable Group-Master...
