Jamie Petrucelli from United States, CT Public Profile

Honestly, I don't have any scopes on any of my rifles. They are either iron sights or red dots. When I decided I wanted a 6.5 Creedmoore bolt action, I knew I would need some form of optic. I did not realize that scopes could be so expensive! With 2 kids in college, dropping $1k (or even $500) was out of the question. What to do, what to do. So I began my search and lo and behold, my favorite professional shooter Jerry Miculek happens to be sponsored by Vortex. Jerry don't fool around with his gear so I figured I'd give them a look. Lifetime VIP warranty, stellar ratings, reasonable price. All pluses in my book. Ordered the scope up (along with rings) and could not be happier. The sight picture is EXTREMELY bright and the focus is razor sharp. While others may scoff at the modest price, don't be fooled into the "more money, more better" mindset. I don't mind paying more for performance, but to pay more for the same performance is just foolish in my opinion. Give this scope a look, I think you'll be pleased you did.

I purchased the Wiley X Valor Changeable Lens Sunglasses as an upgrade from my current shooting glasses and to consolidate my numerous pairs of shooting glasses colors (yellow, clear, coffee, rose) into one “system” so my range bag is not littered with glass cases! Upon receiving the Wiley X glasses, it became obvious that these were serious glasses. Materials were solid, fit and finish were perfect and the optical clarity was stunning. The glasses came with the Rust (yellow) lenses installed, with the clear and grey lenses inside the very sturdy carrying case. Also in the case was a micro fiber cleaning cloth and leash cord. Changing the lenses the first time is somewhat of a nerve wracking experience as the lenses are SECURELY attached to the frames! This was one of my concerns with a multi lens system, but after the amount of force required to remove the lens, I’m not worried that they will just pop out at any moment. Trust me, when you hear the pop of the lens going into position, you’ll know what I mean. And that is the one thing that if I had to say was a negative, is that it would be difficult, but not impossible, to change lenses on the fly. I do a lot of sporting clay shoots, and it would be tough to change lens color on the course. That being said, I was so impressed that I bought a second pair with just the grey lens for everyday use. Optics planet has the best prices around and free (although a little slow) shipping and excellent customer service. I would highly r
