Picked this up last year in January. Mounted on my 18" S2W DD SPR upper matched with a Viper PST 3-15 optic. Rugged, reliable, RTZ per their instructions is less than 1/2" shift (pulled and remounted just to test this claim). The only things that would make the AUS mount better would be QD and more options for their 'bolt on' bits. As a base mount, however, this stands up with all the Geissele mounts that I normally use for optics mounting. I'll definitely be picking up another one of these at some point.

I needed a robust, quality 30mm mount for a project and Geissele was out of stock on the height and diameter so I decided to give Reptilia's mount a try as I had heard nothing but good feedback on their mounts.
Can't be more pleased. Super high quality, RTZs very well when discounted and remounted, lots of add-on available from Reptilia. Everything screams quality on this from appearance to form and function. I'll certainly be keeping Reptilia in mind for my next scope mount.

I was hesitant to try the RMR with the very short eye distance when mounted at the rear of a TA33, however, my worries for for naught. Very easy transition from optic to RDS and installation was very simple. Paired with a 6MOA dot RMR this setup is excellent

I've picked up a handful of these prior-gen Viper 2.5-10 models as I have found then on sale. Seeing that OP apparently managed to find a batch (somewhere) had me reaching for the card and putting one in the cart.
As with my prior purchases of this scope it arrived with Vortex's usually quality. Crisp turret clicks and super clear glass. Out at the range (this replaced another scope that was mounted on a 20" Savage Model 10 Precision Carbine. Absolutely perfect getting it dialed in. Holds zero perfectly. Love the zero-stop feature (even if I think the little brass discs are something of a curiosity in how Vortex came about with that idea).
If you can find one of these on deep discount clearance don't hesitate, they are fantastic and way way over the top in performance at the super discount price point.

While the Hybrid comes with one thread pattern, you may find for some big bore barrels that other odd patterns are needed. Silcencero offers the .46 sized-brake in a few different thread patterns to allow for those differences in threading that you may encounter. The brake itself itself is very effective as a 'stand alone' option, while not being completely overkill like some very aggressive brakes.
Optics planet has very competitive pricing as well.

Great product for mounting your ASR compatible can to your host firearm. Easy and quick on and off when using this SiCo flash hider. I use quite a few of these (and the associated AC142 muzzle brake) on different firearms and being able to quickly swap a can to a different build is great.

I've used several different braces over the years, starting with the original SigBrace, other SB braces, the shockwave, etc. The SBA3 is the best (for me) so far. Not bulky. Fits the arm nicely with the adjustment range. And easy to adjust. And being able to use a normal carbine extension is that much nicer. No weird proprietary hardware.

I go back and forth between these Burris rings and Warne 200-series rings. The Burris rings have never failed me, grip without movement, and mount easily for any application I've used them for (and easier than the Warne rings to keep a scope 'level' when tightening down. If you've used Warne 200-series rings you know what I'm talking about).

I use these Butler creek flip ups on most of the bolt-action rifle scopes. Always reliable, no flopping around. Good fitment if you spec the size correctly. Highly recommend if you are tired of your terrible factory caps.

Picked this up to complete a project where I wanted standard-type hand guards, but not using a railed gas block or front post sight. Mounted without issue on a KAK 11" 7.62x39 barrel and ran just fine. The sight portion works well in both actuation and in use as a front sight. Very similar to the YHM BUIS set that I use on other uppers. I will definitely be using this block (or one of the several variants made by YHM) again in the future.
Note: You will need a long gas journal on your barrel to use this style of block. If you have a barrel with a short gas journal (1" or so) it will be too short.
