Outstanding .308 Lower Receiver Block
Written on May 18, 2025
Midwest Industries makes some excellent tools. This is no exception. Works great with my ArmaLite AR-10 lower receiver.
300 HAM'R hits hard!
Written on Jan 08, 2025
This is some really good ammo. 300 HAM'R is an excellent hunting round, and Wilson Combat makes some great ammo for it. This HAM'R HOT-CORE 130 grain ammo is in a sweet spot of balancing accuracy, lethality, and affordability. Definitely recommend this ammo.
Leupold Patrol 6HD with FireDot Duplex reticle
Written on Jul 20, 2024
The Leupold Patrol 6HD with the FireDot Duplex reticle is my favorite LPVO that I've ever used. It is extremely lightweight, and the FireDot Duplex reticle is daylight bright. I previously owned a Vortex Razor HD Gen II-E 1-6x24, which was also a great optic, but the Leupold is much lighter. I also previously owned a Leupold Patrol 6HD with the illuminated CMR2 reticle, but it wasn't daylight bright. Leupold uses a different illumination system for the FireDot Duplex reticle, and it is close to, if not equal to, the Vortex illuminated reticle. The other benefit with the Leupold is that it has a motion sensor detector, so it automatically turns on the illumination when you move it, which means it will always be ready when you are.

Best AR-15 Buffer Detent
Written on Apr 09, 2024
Review for
KNS Precision Buffer Detent
The KNS Precision Buffer Detent is nitride finished, so the finish won't get worn off like most buffer detents. This is a quality product that I have started including in all my builds.
Excellent low-profile back-up iron sights
Written on Feb 02, 2024
These sights are excellent. The rear sight peep hole is the perfect size, in between the small and large that are found on most rear sights. For backup sights, that's all you need. And the OpticsPlanet exclusive FDE coloring is perfect for some builds.
Best Mil-Spec BCG
Written on Feb 02, 2024
If you want the best Mil-Spec BCG, look no further than BCM. The Mil-Spec BCG has proven the test of time. Some of the other BCG brands and coatings out there can also be great, so fortunately there are lots of good choices out there. But if you want a BCG you know you can always trust, then BCM is an easy choice.

Review for
OpticsPlanet Exclusive EZ2C Targets Style 6
These targets are excellent for rifles with red dot sights at 50 yards. You can dial down the red dot brightness and then you can center the red dot on these targets. Perfect for sighting in your rifles.

Fits Aero M4E1 Lowers
Written on Jan 06, 2023
Review for
Guntec USA AR .308 Bolt Catch Screw
I bought this for an Aero Precision M5 lower, and was pleasantly surprised to find that it also fits Aero Precision M4E1 lowers. It looks much better than the stainless steel screw that comes standard in the Aero Precision lowers.

Spyderco Para 3 with CPM S45VN Steel
Written on Jul 19, 2021
Review for
Spyderco Para 3 2.95in Folding Knife
I just bought a Spyderco Para 3 from OpticsPlanet, and was pleased to see that it has now been upgraded from S30V steel to S45VN steel. The listing still showed S30V steel, so this was a pleasant surprise. The Para 3 fits great in my hand, and it is the perfect size for me.
My favorite AK grip
Written on Jul 14, 2021
Review for
Magpul Industries MOE SL AK Grip, AK47/AK74
The Magpul MOE SL AK Grip is my favorite AK grip. I've tried the original MOE AK grip as well as the MOE-K2 AK grip, and neither one felt as good in my hand as the MOE SL AK grip. Of course, this is completely subjective, but that's my 2 cents :-)
