OpticsPlanet.com Email Gift Certificate $100
Bought a couple of these for my dad so he could pick up some fun stuff from OP. I love OP and I've only had positive experiences. I figured these gift certs would be instantaneous; whoops! I could've easily purchased them in advance, but I didn't know it would take 24-48 hours to receive the codes. And then, once I received them and provided them to him, I discovered that when you use the app, apparently, there's nowhere to enter coupons or gift certs in the checkout flow. It took us an hour over the phone to figure it out together. OP, this process should be WAY easier...

Vortex Defender Flip-Cap Lens Cover
Seems like overkill, but I'm lazy and i like to protect my lenses clean and protected with minimal maintenance. These flip caps work perfectly.

Can damage an arcalock rail

Area 419 ARCALOCK Clamp
I have reviewed this before, not I just noticed some damage on my arcalock rail that I hadn't mentioned before, in several places. Obviously this clamp has slipped on me several times and each time it damaged the teeth on my rail. I really cannot recommend this product and definitely encourage folks to go with the QD clamp instead. The recoil from my 308 just overpowered this clamp, which IMO is the entire reason for the arcalock system in the first place

Review for
Primary Arms SLx Cantilever Mount
I really wanted a mount that had a rmr top cap available. I was looking at more expensive mounts, but this one has what I was looking for. My hope is that I'll be able to remove and remount this to my rifle without having to re-zero, but I haven't zero'd anything yet; time will tell. It weighs about the same as more expensive mounts, except for the ultra light mount, which doesn't support a to cap, so that's nice.

Just what the doctor ordered

Area 419 Arcalock QD Clamp
I had the regular arcalock clamp on my bipod for my 308 gas gun, and no matter how tight I torqued it, it would still come loose after a few shots. I should've spent the extra bucks to get this one. I'm thinking that if you're going for arcalock, it's cause you're shooting, and if you're shooting, then you need the qd clamp. Don't go cheap, it'll just cost you more in the long run

Comes loose when shooting

Review for
Area 419 ARCALOCK Clamp
I don't recommend this when used on a rifle/bipod. Comes loose very quickly and hard to notice when you're focused on shooting. Spend a little extra and get the qd clamp. I might use this for a spotting scope or something

SLR Dimpling Jig Gas Block
This jig worked beautifully. When I first received it I thought the hole was going to be too small for the drill bit, but the tolerances are just perfect. It left me with the perfect dimple. I only used it to create a single simple opposite of the gas port; I'm not sure what you'd use the other angles for. But I'm happy as can be. I'll probably never need it again, though �.
