Magpul Art of Precision Rifle DVD (Set of 5)

If you do ANY long range shooting GET THIS VIDEO
The only reason I rated it 5 stars is because there is no 6 star rating. I now realize I never understod long range shooting. This is the gold standard for long range shooting instruction. I have this whole series - all are good and all are fun to watch!
If You Buy Nothing Else For Your Rifle, Buy This.... (TEN Stars)
...Because after watching this five disc set, you will never think about your skills with a rifle the same again. BAR NONE the most fantastic lessons on proper setup and technique out there for long shooting. Learn everything from position to setup, zeroing with an unknown setup, all filmed live on an incredible range.

Just to make a point the instructor has the four students remove their scopes and "pass them to the right" to the next guy and mount them up - crazy! Then in two shots he has everyone right on at 300-600 yards. I cannot say enough good things about this course.

If there was a way to give 10 Stars I would have done it. DO IT! BUY IT! After you watch all 5 discs, come share!
Long Range Shooter beware!
Magpul is always pushing the envelope with their products and services. Everything you think you know as a long range shooter is put to the test from range, wind, humidity and even Coriolis effect. I can’t wait to take some of the things I have seen and learned on this film to the range and test them out.

Millett Remington 700 Right Hand Short Action Picatinny Rail, Matte

Not Bad
I had just recently bought this rail for my Remington 700 Varmint SF, .223, and so far I have been really pleased. The build quality is great, it looks and feels very solid, and not to mention it looks bada**. It also came with the tool to attach the rail to the gun as well, which was one less thing I had to worry about. I plan to buy another one of these rails in the future, when I have saved enough money for another Remington 700, perhaps in .308.
Decent Rail, thats all
It looks ok, the finish is a bit shiny, but looks well machined. The holes fit precisely over the plug screws of the 700 sps tactical receiver.

However, mine did NOT come with any screws, let alone a tool for mounting as mentioned by the previous reviewer.

I'm not sure if this is an issue with Amazon or the Supplier at this time. If it had come with 'all required hardware for mounting' as stated on the package, I might have given it another stars.
Nice rail but where's the screws?
Love the rail but I'm not sure why they didn't include screws. This was not just a packing fowl up either... There was only room in the package for the rail itself - to have added screws there would have been a place for them in the fitted plastic package. It took me a visit to three separate gun shops to find the screws and to get them I had to buy an additional scope mount.

Crimson Trace Laserguard for Glock 19/26/36 (Black)

crimson trace laserguard for baby glocks
this thing is amazing! it fits onto the gun very securely. its very simple to attach. the laser is very bright. the laserguard is designed to fit most holsters without modification to the holster. unlike the laserGRIP, the laserGUARD does not make the firearm thicker. i wouldnt have bought it if it added thickness, being that its a ccw. glocks are pretty thick as it is and as a ccw i couldnt afford for the firearm to be thicker.

also its the first crimson trace laser(to the best of my knowledge) to have a master on/off so you can train with your irons. it also has elevation and windage adjustments that are very precise. it comes from the factory sighted in at 50ft(roughly 18 and a half yards or so).

the only thing is, the touchpad on the grip might look or feel a tad uncomfortable at first, but you really dont notice it after a couple days. besides, you dont carry a gun for comfort, you carry it to get the job done(if forced to do so). i would squeeze a ball of...
Best Mod yet for my Glock.
The crimson trace installed easily, and was easy to calibrate with the included tools. It doesn't add much weight, and the Laser is... simply awesome.

Buck n Does @ amazon is the place to order from as well... $65 less than list, and fast shipping.
CT Laserguard on Glock 26 Gen 4
Ignore the box label that states "Generation 3 Only"... installs beautifully on a Glock 26 Gen 4 pistol... couldn't be better.

Green Pistol Laser Sight

AWESOME...
Well worth the money, can't tell a difference from one I have that I spent couple hundred more... its bright enough to actually illuminate surroundings at night, put green dot on house 400 yards away(not on gun) and can be seen well in daylight at 30 yards... minor negative is 4 button batteries and not normal size batteries like A123, or AAA, but tested a set of batteries and stayed bright for half-hour and stayed lit for well over an hour... After first 100 rounds haven't needed any adjustments, stayed as true as first shot... I purchased 2, one is on pistol with on/off switch, one is on rifle with pressure switch mounted, and both just flat-out look awesome... Highly recommended!!!!
Okay for the price ...
The switch is not so easy to use, nor does the quality of the entire package seem high, but then at this price, it's about what you should expect...
Customer Service
All questions were answered. Quick reply. No doubt if something is wrong with the product, they will take care of it.

BARSKA Blackhawk 8x42 Waterproof Binocular

Yikes! 20 feet close focus
OK ... sorry for the 3 stars, but I just wanted to point out that these binoculars have a whopping 20 feet close focus distance. That's about the worst I've seen. For example, the Eagle Optics Denali 8x42 Roof Prism Binocular have a close focus of 7 feet. People new to binoculars often don't think about close focus, but it's highly desirable. For example, one may be looking at a bird in bush or tree and step closer to get a better look. At 20 feet, you may have to actually step back. Also, for younger kids, they like to look at objects closer to get used to using binoculars for the first time. Sometimes it's useful to look at insects, snakes, etc. that aren't 100 feel away but more like 10-20 feet. I just wanted to make those aware of close focus, so you can make your own educated decision.
Excellent Value
I just returned from the Amazon where I took these Barska knowing that I would put their 'waterproof' to the test. After a month of use there was never a problem with moisture. Optically, these binoculars are very good. Other in my group had more expensive binoculars (Nikon, Bushnell etc.) and we passed each other's around. The Barska were as good or better than the others. They are also fairly rugged. They can take a drop. If there is a negative, it is with design for the neck strap and the cheap strap that comes with the set. It sucks. The strap interferes with your hand placement. Outside of that, and especially considering the cost, I strongly recommended these binoculars. 4.5 stars.
Tremendous value...up to a point
These binoculars are a fantastic bargain. They are solid and well made. The lenses are very bright and the focus wheel and main hinge operate smoothly and precisely. I started shopping for a set of binoculars after using a set of Leupold Cascades that were provided by the Marine Corps for the use of students in the Combat Hunter training program. The Leupolds were very impressive and as I shopped for a comparable set of binoculars I found the Barska Blackhawk to a be comparable in almost every feature. Though they use a different prism the view from the Blackhawk is indistinguishable from the more expensive Leupolds. I don't have experience with high end binoculars such as Zeiss or Leicas but the Barskas leave no reason for me to be curious about spending an additional $1000.

Update: I am lowering my rating to thre stars because the hinge broke with only a modest concussion. After owning these for a couple of years they broke during routine use. Until this...

Truglo Red-Dot 42Mmx2 Sight, Black

Not the best
First, this is NOT the product pictured. The real scope is much bigger and longer. I've been using this scope on a hunting shotgun for about two years, it's held up so far. The 2x magnification is great for ranged shots, but means that you'll get parallax like any regular scope(can't shot with both eyes open). Also your field of vision is greatly limited because of the magnification. Be sure you really want a 2x scope and not a regular dot sight before getting this.
Truglo's 2x42 is perfect for a "Scout Rifle"
I found this while perusing for a scope at my local Cabela's. I needed a red-dot scope with a small MOA, unlimited eye relief, with a large aperture, that didn't cost an arm and a leg. I found all five qualities easily fulfilled in their 2x42 red dot scope, and was able to turn my Ruger Mini-14 into the scout rifle I wanted.

The scope has a 1-12 power setting, for shooting under dim lighting or on bright sunny days. It has front/rear flip-up covers to protect its huge 42mm lense, is easily adjustable for windage/elevation, and really holds its zero. Even after multipe trips to the range and being tossed in and out of its case, I never have to re-zero it. I have also accidently left the scope "ON" after playing with it, and it has proven to last at least 5 days straight while on the 2x brightness setting. To me that is remarkable.

The scope is built rock solid and should last for a looong time.

In short, 5 stars, even with the parallax error...
Just what I wanted
I was looking for a Red Dot sight for my 22 pistol and I found that the Truglo is a perfect match. Well made and solid, full of features and a great price. Well worth it.

Gerber 22-41629 LMF II Infantry Knife, Black

Quality Piece
I bought this knife looking for a solid all around hunting/survival/perhaps fishing knife. It has a good heft, its well made. I like its variety of features (serrated/straight blade, holes to lash onto spear, pointy butt end for breaking glass, flat portion on butt for use as hammer, sharpener in case) but I don't like how difficult it is to unsheath. It is held into the sheath too tightly, and the rubber drags on the way out, but otherwise, a nice knife.
This knife will outlast humanity
This is more knife for your buck than you'd expect.
I can use this as an axe, hammer or knife. It's essentially one very thick blade with a rubber coated tang, which like the blade is thick and heavy. This blade has outperformed every expectation I have for a blade. It's simple yet very effective. One of the key aspects of it that I really like is the 3 holes for attaching the knife to branch which makes it a spear. To use this as a hammer just rest the sharp edge of the blade on the wood intended to cut and hit the back of the blade with a heavy piece of wood.
I can stab right through sheet metal with this thing and it holds it's edge
I can cut through cinderblocks without any notable damage, holds edge fairly well
The grip is formed by a rubber coating over the tang. The rubber is extremely grippy, I love it.
Due to it's weight (which I actually love about it) I can easily drive the knife into hardwood when thrown, also because of the shape of the handle it...
Awesome Knife
I have used this knife for actual "survival" camping and this thing performed perfectly. I was able to swath a 1.25 mile path through intermediately dense woods with no failure. The built-in knife sharpener is incredibly handy when you're in the middle of nowhere and need to a sharp blade.

Awesome product for the price.
