CZ457 Varmint Rifle Stock Replacement
Written on Oct 29, 2025
Review for
Boyds Hardwood Gunstocks Rimfire Varmint Thumbhole CZ 457 Factory Barrel Channel Rifle Stock
The stock on my 457 .22 cracked after a hard fall out of the closet despite it being in a very durable case. I decided to try the Boyd's Thumbhole stock as a replacement. It fit the 457 action perfectly and looks and feels much better then the original factory stock. It was a good choice for the price and quality.
Fiocchi .38 Spcl. Wadcutter rounds
Written on Mar 26, 2024
These are without a doubt the best rounds for target shooting. The wadcutter design produces perfectly cut round holes in paper target. These are somewhat hard to find and were off the market (at least in the USA) for a few years. At least I couldn't find them until OP started to carry them. Clean shooting and reliable, the wadcutters used to be the round which various law enforcement agencies used to carry.
Magpul Forearm for M-4 Carbine
Written on Mar 08, 2024
I replaced the stock round forearm on my Windham SRC with this handguard from Magpul. The product is the usual excellent quality I have found in other Magpul products. Installation was simple and accomplished in a few minutes with a Delta ring wrench. This handguard is much slimmer and easier to handle than the original ribbed round one. Looks better as well. I'm happy.

5X Prism scope from Primary Arms
Written on Sep 04, 2023
I have used the 5X prism earlier generation from Primary Arms and found it to be an excellent choice for shooting out to 200 yards on an 18" AR platform. The best part is the reticle which is etched and does not starburst on you if you have any sort of astigmatism like a typical red dot is prone to do. The 5X PA comes with a complete set of cantilever mounting pieces so it can be tailored to whatever rifle you wish to mount it on. This new version is shorter than the original I purchased 5 years ago and is a big improvement in optical quality, i.e. the glass is more clear and brighter than the older version. I'm happy with mine so far. Good shooting! Capt. Mike

30 mm mount for AR plstform
Written on Aug 11, 2023
This is a well made unit but is quite heavy. I prefer the Aero Precision mount since it is one third the weight and is made in the USA. This one is from China. Prices are similar so choose the USA made unit.
Vortex Spitfire 1X Prism Scope

Review for
Vortex Spitfire 1x-AR Prism Scope
This is a well built prism scope with a sharp reticle. I mounted it on my rifle and noticed immediately the center of the optic was not aligned with the Picatiiny rail. The optic was off to the left of the bore axis enough to be noticeable when looking through the scope. Other reviewers of this scope have noted this as well. That was enough for me to return it and look for a different optic.

Peltor Sport Ultimate Hearing Protector Black 97042-PEL-6C
Written on Jul 15, 2018
I have used many types of hearing protectors for target shooting and for the money, these are my pick. Excellent sound attenuation and comfortable, I don't have any issues when bench shooting through optics of any type. These are lightweight and a value. Try them before you spend a bucket of cash on something you don't need.

Otis Chamber Tool

Review for
Otis Technology Star Chamber Cleaning Tool
I purchased this item based on the good experience I have had with other products by this company. This tool really doesn't do more than a patch on the end of a chamber brush. I tried it out on my well maintained AR and could not tell any additional cleaning advantage over the patch method described.

Smith & Wesson magazines for Victory .22 pistol
Written on Dec 17, 2017
These are factory magazines and work just fine with this pistol. Mags can be a problem with any firearm if you use an off brand type as I have found out with other pistols. The price at OP was competitive for these so I purchased three extra for use at the local range. All function perfectly.

Magpul K2 Grip
Written on Dec 14, 2017
This is typical quality and reasonably priced at Optics Planet. I planned on installing this one on a my AR 15, but the inside dimensions of this grip were too small to fit properly on the rifle I have. I returned it for an upgraded version from OP. I would recommend this item as have many others, it just didn't happen to fit for me.
