I've never been a fan of the narrow dovetail scope rail found on European rimfire rifles (11mm?) as they don't seem as stable as Picatinny rails or direct mount to the receiver via screws. Note: I don't have any other CZ rifles, but assume the narrow 11mm rail is not on their centerfire rifles. That said, I really like my CZ rimfire rifle, and it has that narrow European dovetail rail. First choice is open sights, but I recently decided to go with a scope. I could've used an adapter to essentially "cover" the dovetail on the receiver with Picatinny rail, but I didn't want to do that because it would add another part between the receiver and scope, increase the height of the scope, and I just try to stay away from Picatinny rails as much as possible. So I wanted to attach scope rings directly to the rail. Unfortunately, since this is a European spec rail, there aren't a lot of US companies making scope rings for this size rail. I eventually found these rings by Talley for a 1" scope tube.

To be honest, these scope rings are not really remarkable compared to other quality scope rings, like others made by Talley that I have on other rifles. Where these rings shine is their unique attachment method - 11mm dovetail rings - that make them absolutely indispensable for someone like. But, the thing that makes them unique also makes them useless for any other application.

For those in the market for scope rings that attach to a dovetail, whether you get these scope rings or another,

I took a chance on these very expensive, and odd looking scope rings. I think these scope rings are from one of the Nordic countries, or Scandinavian. They're rock solid with an integral level in the rear scope ring, which I really like. Initially I wasn't sure about the rings being "split" at 45 degrees off - I've had scope rings that were split horizontally and vertically. Ultimately I don't think it really matters how the scope rings are split (horizontally, vertically, or 45 degree angle), so long as the scope rings are high quality. I like the fact that these are built for additional add ons, which is something I haven't really considered because I don't like a lot of doo dads attached to my rifle, but is a nice option just in case I guess. I just wanted a high quality set of 34mm diameter scope rings for my long range singe shot bolt action rifle. Bottom line is I like these weird looking expensive scope rings - they work for me.

I considered buying the Forster Universal Sight Mounting Fixture for a long time. In general I prefer open/iron sights on all my rifles (to the greatest extent practical) rather than fragile scopes and any battery powered red dot sights. I also have an aversion to unnecessary picatinny rails. I just want to keep things simple. Many modern rifle/barrel manufacturers don't install sights anymore, which probably caters to the majority of the market, but left me out in the cold. So in some cases I decided to install my own sights. Local gunsmiths are always very busy, with long backlogs; having a gunsmith install sights on one rifle may not be too expensive, but the cost for multiple rifles starts to add up. After a couple of terrible DIY jobs, I finally decided to buy the Forster UF1000. It's a lot more expensive than I prefer, but it pays for itself over the course of 3 to 4 jobs I would've had done by a gunsmith. It was extremely easy to use, and I even bought other bushing sizes just to make sure I have complete versatility for all future jobs.

This tool is not for everyone. I'm a DIYer who will likely install sights on multiple rifles; I also have the space, tools (drills/bits), time, and patience to use this tool. Obviously this will likely be useful to actual gunsmiths. Otherwise, if you only plan to install one set of sights on a single rifle, or you don't have the means to use this tool, then you're probably better off going to a gunsmith.

Got this scope, along with Leupold picatinny 1" scope rings, EGW picatinny scope base, and Leupold 2.5" sunshade for my Savage A17. Waited a while to post this review to make sure this scope and the Leupold name brand is as good as people say. The answer is definitely yes. Crystal clear optics within the full range of magnification; highly visible crosshairs in most lighting conditions. Seems rugged, solid, holds up well under normal hunting field conditions. No issues with fog, moisture, pretty lightweight. If you like simple (easy to use) non-illuminated high quality, scopes, then I recommend you consider this one.

Never really a noticed much of a difference using blast shields, or similar items, but this one seems to work pretty well.

I bought this item as an after-thought since it worked with a Silencerco suppressor mount that I already had. I used it on a dangerous game bolt action rifle chambered for .458 caliber cartridges. This blast shield seems to do a noticeable job in further directing the "blast" forward and away from the shooter. As intended. It's a little quieter for the shooter and possibly others to your left/right, assume no difference or perhaps an increase to sound downrange. Ear and eye protection is still a must. No felt changes to recoil, no braking effects, possible decrease in muzzle flash. It's a little expensive, not sure it's worth the cost on its own - I just bought it because I happened to have the mount...which is required to use this. I like it, and that's all that matters to me.

The title of this review says it all. I didn't buy this scope thinking it would be the quality, performance, and specifications of a Nightforce scope, or something like it. I bought this scope because I was on a budget, and was looking for something with a low and fixed magnification for short-range shooting on a low-recoil, small caliber rifle. And it's simple. I don't need/want illumination, crazy reticles, or overly complicated adjustments. Basically, I envisioned the scope version of iron or open sights. This scope did just that, so I'm happy. I haven't put it through any harsh environments or put it to the test in any way. Nor do I really intend to. I'm not going to combat with the rifle this scope is attached to, just so casual and occasional hunting and/or plinking. And this scope is great for exactly that. So I'm happy with it. No issues, no complaints, no problems. Just a decent, no frills, scope for those of us on a budget. Not the best, but good enough for me.

Only preference I would have is for a lower fixed power options (such as 2x).

I had my eye on this item for a while - I thought it was interesting but likely unnecessary accessory for my Glock 21. Never felt a need or desire for a stand-off device (though I guess you never know). But I like the idea of a rail-mounted compensator. Eventually I had a few extra bucks and succumbed to temptation. I’m very happy with this purchase. I’m not really sure how well this, or any, compensator does with taming recoil - the Glock 21 is pretty robust, and I’m not recoil sensitive. Despite all that, I still think this item is an interesting addition for the Glock. Maybe a little pricey for the novelty of it, though.

I've never been dissatisfied with anything form TacSol, and this barrel is no different. It has pretty much all the features I look for in a barrel: lightweight, compact (about 16"), .920" diameter, fluted, threaded, black finish, AND open sights. I really prefer open sights, and it was extremely difficult to find any .920" diameter barrel with open sights. There are sights out there that you can attach like a ring, band, or clamp a the muzzle, but you don't know for sure if they're aligned with the rear sight. One good solution in this regard is Nodak Spud - you just need to have the time and patience to do the alignment. Not the end of the world if you don't. I just prefer that the barrel come pre-installed with sights. This barrel is exactly that, which really sets it apart. I'm very happy with it and highly recommend it if you prefer open sights as well.

I like this barrel. I own quite a few Tactical Solutions products for Ruger 10/22 and Ruger Mark III and IV. I've never been disappointed with any TacSol product - always high quality, sturdy, and thus far long-lasting.

I've seen this particular barrel out for a couple years now, and have been thinking about buying it, but decided to wait. I have enough Ruger 10/22 barrels, but nothing like this. I finally broke down and bought this barrel. Bottom line is Il like this barrel.

It's pretty light, which is good. It's the color I wanted - good again. Very snug fit in my Ruger 10/22 receiver, but not too difficult to install (I didn't need to do any modifications). Also good, but honestly nothing new - many other Ruger 10/22 barrels are similar in this regard.

Obviously the most unique characteristic about this barrel is I guess what would be call the "shroud" at the end of barrel. The overall barrel length (including the shroud) is just over 16". The bored/rifled portion of the barrel is just over 12", so the remainder of the barrel is the shroud is about 4". The idea is that you can attach a suppressor to this barrel without extending the length much farther beyond the BATFE-mandated 16" barrel length. This just helps ensure that when this barrel is installed on a rifle (Ruger 10/22) it is not considered an SBR.

This a very interesting idea, but you do need to manage your expectations. For example, the interior diameter of the shroud is about 1.1" I think. I ow

I'm not a fan of scopes. I much prefer iron / open sights. But I have a Ruger 10/22 with a .920 bull barrel, and it's very difficult to find open sights in this set up. I'm trying other options, such as NodakSpud And SeeAll Sights. Figured I'd try a non-magnifying scope if I could find one. It was very hard to find a non-magnifying scope, but I found this one on Optics Planet. It is very inexpensive (some might say "cheap"), especially when you realize it comes with most of the accessories that you'd have to pay extra for, such as scope rings and lens covers.

I just received this item, and to be fair I haven't really used it yet. But so far (first impression) is very good. It's compact, light, and seems very solid/stable...at least for .22 long rifle calibers.

I didn't want the illumination option - I like to keep things simple. I just wanted the simplest way to put cross hairs on a target given I could use iron / open sights. Maybe I might use the illumination, but probably not. If this scope was offered without the illumination option, it might reduce the weight even more...but probably not enough that I'd notice. Now I'm just being picky.
