Inferior Quality
Written on Dec 29, 2019
I have at least a half dozen bulldog cases and have never had a problem, until now. The quality on this case doesn't rate one star, but that was the lowest rating the automated process would allow. The zipper on this one is useless, it keeps opening up. The height of this case is the smallest that I have encountered in decades, so anything you put inside bulges the case outwards and causes the zipper to open up, spilling the internal contents. This cases is definitely not as described and I am surprised that Optics Planet would sell this POS.

Review for
VISM Tactical Shotgun Scabbards, 35in
The scabbard is well made, sturdy and adjustable. Needed something to strap across my back as a backup weapon for pig hunting. Fits my Rem 870 Home Defense perfectly, even with the shorty Choate pistol grip stock and a front light mounted under the barrel. Problem is that it really doesn't strap securely diagonally across my back for a quick reach and pull if I ever needed that Rem 870 in an emergency. If a quick draw was required, the hog would have ripped me a new one as I through spitballs at it waiting to get the Rem out of the sling. Nice concept, just a less than desirable execution. It works great if you want to hang it in a closet, in the cabin on a boat or in your truck, it just falls short as a back-pack scabbard.

Great Red Dot for the Coin
Written on Apr 01, 2017
I needed a simple, reliable, micro red dot sight for a Ruger 10/22 takedown that didn't cost a bunch, used a common and readily available battery source (CR3022) and offered a graduated red and green light source. This AIM Sports 1x20 dual illuminated Micro Dot fit the MOS perfectly. It was so mission perfect, I purchased a second sight for my companion Ruger 10/22 TD. Don't think I will subject it to the abuse of 12-gauge shotgun recoil. The soft recoil impulse of the Ruger's 22-cal LR should keep this optic good to go for the foreseeable future. It doesn't have the convenient mid-stops to turn off the battery in between the numbers like some of the higher-priced red dots, but what do you want for $35? Simple is good...wait for a 10% off sale and simple costs even less. We'll see how these hold up over the long haul, but they didn't break the bank...my other red-dots are $650 Trijicons, so these AIM Sports red-dots were very affordable!

Nice tac light for the money
Written on Mar 08, 2017
Not the best tac light I've seen or used in this price range, but certainly worth the asking price and a good value for the investment. Minus one star for it's wider than usual light beam...I would have preferred a bit more focus of the beam to concentrate that 700 rated lumens into a tighter cone of light. This product doesn't seem to be as bright as some of my other 600 and 650 lumens tac lights and I believe that the wider beam is the culprit. The light output is dissipated over a wider footprint, hence it produces less foot candles directly forward and 15-degrees to either side of the pointed direction. Still, not a bad one in this economy category, but not my first choice either.

Basic functionality at a fair price

Review for
Stag Arms Aftermarket Buttstock Kit
Does what it is supposed to do for upgrading a collapsible stock layout into an AWB compliant model. Great quality, fair price and quick shipping. A win-win deal. Easy to install and matched up perfectly to an old style Colt A2 stock furniture. The parts fit perfectly to the new stock extension and it buttoned up nice and tight for a smooth result. Can't wait to take it to the range for a thorough baptism of fire.

Does the Job
Written on Mar 12, 2016
For the minimal investment, these scope covers do the job, especially if you do your job and size them correctly. The material seems a bit flimsy, and it remains to be seen how long they hold up. So far, so good.

Strikes out!
Written on Feb 26, 2016
Received the UTG 400 lumens tactical light and was immediately disappointed after turning it on. The 400 lumens light has the same apparent brightness level as the 170 lumens light that it was slated to replace. Yet another issue with this product is the wide angle beam that doesn't focus the light, but instead distributes it over an area that is far too wide and not useful. When compared to 600 lumens tac lights like the Streamlight and Blackhawk!, it pales in comparison, so it is going right back for a refund. Major bummer...

Dynamite Weapon Light
Written on Dec 07, 2015
Have this Scorpion HL on a FAB PLA-1 removable picatinny rail mount and it is totally "lights out". It can withstand the constant barrage of 12-gauge ammo and still work up to specs. The 600 lumens beam does the job.
