It mystifies me that manufactures and vendor of tactical have no idea how to market their products. Dimensions inside and outside parameters are alway missing, sometime the weight is there and sometimes not. Maybe they just love the returns? The pictures of this Forward Observer do not do this product justice. The inner pieces for changing the internal configuration are removable. The top has it's own zippered compartment with multiple organizer areas, much like a complicated wallet. I use my for my range bag. Top is idea for small batteries and other things. This product is just wonderful and dare I say cost effective. That is not permission to raise the price! Well made. OH, probably good for a camera or an ammo organizer for the bottom of a backpack.

Lots of room for a rifle or two and hand gun. I think this was designed for a Three gunner person. Love the sling strap. I returned it because my needs were complete different. I bought a LBX rifle back pack. Much smaller size, tighter fit for a 16 '' rifle, and easier to carry a heavy load due to back pack type straps. But I will say the Hazard 4 is well made, excellent materials, but your needs will determine if this rifle bag is for you.

If you need a MTM cartriage case and want to store the cartirage cases in an MTM Ammo crate, due to the fact that you reload or you purchase loose rounds then this cartridge case fits those Ammo crates the best. Best meaning most amount of rounds per crate.

This is an unusually piece for the Tactical Nylon crowd. If you have something that fits in it, it is great. Having a tactical bent, requires a lot of thinking as to how to store stuff. A bit like Carlin's monologue on stuff. You will not find this piece anywhere else.

Hi There:

Great all around alternative for a short to medium range scope. If you are looking to save some money. That is, a generalist type approach to a red dot and low power on a medium range scope then this is it. Optics are better than a competing Sig Tango, Bushnell 6500...I like the features on the Sig but find the view on a Sig Tango to be slightly darker. The Leapold is nice too but the small turrets were a no go. No matter what scope you buy there are going to be a lack of features that force you into a Kentucky windage situation. So if you like a nice clear reticle (second focal plane scope), alternative to a Red dot. Then go with the Vortex. I like Vortex, great customer service AND AN AMERICAN COMPANY.

Other concerns:

I think if I would buy the Vortex AMG next. I love shooting at 10x which seems to work for my eyes the best. The other problem if you do not know and keep up with the performance level of your barrel and know the ballistics of what round you are shooting, then what is the point? Second focal plane reticle big clear glass is all you need.
