Great and handy tool!

Written on Jul 08, 2017

This is a great everyday tool easy to carry, durable being made of titanium, so don't have to worry about chips or breaking. I carry it with me each day as I do other tools so one will be prepared.
The best thing about the Boker is size and carry, besides being durable. Do recommend for everyday carry, you never know when needed.

Excellent Check Pad

Written on Jan 09, 2017

I have been looking for a check pad for my M1A for better control on shooting and advantage in competition shooting. As always a check of Optics Planet provided some great selections. I picked the BlackHawk Ammo Cheek Pad-Rifle 5 IVS Black 90CP05BK; found it to be very well made, comfortable and design was just what I was looking for. With the added feature of having my 308 ammo handy and a compartment for an added magazine I couldn't have asked for more. I also liked the ability to select different colors, my pick was the olive green, particular to what I wanted with my sling; keeping it original from days past with the Marines.
If one is looking for a cheek pad for their rifle, I would select from Optics Planet, they have what you would be looking for; will be pleased.

Perfect Scope for the M1A

Written on Nov 29, 2016

This particular scope was recommended by Turner's employee as best fitting for the M1A or M-14 rifle. Based on his suggestion and for scope mount I did pick the Nikon M-308 specifically for my rifle. I could not be happier with this scope and how durable, along with being well made. The auto reset to zero is a nice feature and for distance shoots I could not ask for anything better. Additionally, the Nikon has a ballistics app for both the I Phone and Android phone for measuring distance, caliber and targeting, have used at the range and app works great, simple to use and targeting perfect. It beats the old days of figuring elevation, wind-edge, and caliber mostly; a big help. The recommended scope mount from Optics is also another factors in the purchase of this scope; it too fits the M1A perfectly, made for each other. Low light and day light sighting perfect through this scope too!

Original Springfield Magazines Reliable-Always!

Written on Nov 28, 2016

First have been familiar with Springfield Armory and their weapons reliability, I wanted to stay with their magazines made by Springfield. Thus knowing they are well made and geared for the M1A I presently have. The magazines as mentioned are well made, the spring tension perfect and while firing at the range, function is perfect. I myself like staying with the same manufacturer as the firearm; Springfield is and has a history of perfection. I see other magazines for the M1A or M-14, but with Springfield I know what I am getting; it's made for the same weapon.

When you need light!

Written on Nov 16, 2016

The Glowstick is a tool for emergencies and where light is needed. Useful outdoors and for everyday use, including home and your vehicle. Well made and something that could keep you safe. It's great for roadside break downs, camping and hunting or just exploring the great outdoor. Something one can carry around or store easily at home, outdoors, vehicle and your everyday back pack.

Flexible Magazine pouch

Written on Nov 16, 2016

As with other Vertz velcro pouches or holders for tools, well made and like it's flexibility for use with weapon magazines; fits perfect in my pack pack.It's a nice change from the stiff leather pouches and can be used for other tools too. As with past orders, would like to have had in black, otherwise a great item.

Multi purpose holster useful for tools

Written on Nov 16, 2016

Vertex mulit use holster is not just for your weapon, useful for tools or even added survival gear for your back pack. Simple instructions for fitting any tool and/or weapon. Especially like having in my Vertx back pack, helps keep things organized and in place. Well made and durable, like it's flexibility. Do wish had in black!

Great survival and outdoor tool!

Written on Nov 16, 2016

Like all my recent orders with Optics, very well made and a must have for all outdoor explorers and hunters. One never knows when the unexpected comes up and need some heat or sharpener for your knife. I especially like this model with the cord; which has a number of uses in the field when one needs to tie something or need to repair something.
An easy carry tool and fits nice in my everyday back pack or commuter pack; something else which would be useful for military personnel and all outdoor types. These days better to be prepared!

Great Survival Tool!

Written on Nov 16, 2016

First as always from Optics Planet fine gear and very well made. An easy tool to carry and have handy in case needed, these days one never knows what could happen. It is also especially useful for outdoors and planned hunting in New England with father, know in past when lighter or no matches; now something won't have to worry about. This would have been nice during my military duty times, but then not available. Something for military personnel to think about having in their pack.

Handy Cuffs for work & Other uses!

Written on Oct 19, 2016

Great flex cuffs; can also be used for other tie down of equipment or temporary repairs. Great everyday carry! The flex cuffs are strong and like that there are no sharp edges. Plus they are very flexible in use for other tie down of equipment, besides controlling a person. Think best design with the rounded edges, unlike older flex cuffs.
