I put one of these scopes on my 1965 Winchester model 70 in .243. It gives me the opportunity to adjust it to 4 power and focus at a closer distance shot, or adjust it to 16 power and focus it for long distance shots. I liked it so much, I bought a second one and mounted it on my Remington 541S, 22 long rifle bolt gun and it makes a fantastic small game set up. I would recommend this scope for anyone wanting a wide variety of magnification and focus ranges. The only issue I ran into is the magnification ring has a large, thick rubber cover around it. Makes for easy turning to change the magnification. But it is so thick and large diameter, it requires higher rings than would be needed if measuring only the objective opening. Normally, medium rings would have worked on my guns, but because of that large diameter rubber covering, I had to go with high ring mounts on both guns.

I ordered this scope for a Weatherby Vanguard rifle in 7mm-08. It worked very well. Is nice and clear, and has a good magnification range for what I need. The only problem I encountered, is the ring height needed for the magnification ring to clear the receiver. With a 42 mm front objective, normally low rings would work. But the magnification ring on this scope is so large, it wouldn't clear the receiver with low rings. So had to order medium rings to get the clearance so the magnification ring would clear the receiver and turn freely. Would recommend this scope for its value. Am ordering another one for a 1965 made Winchester model 70 in .243 caliber.

I have 2 of these scopes. One is on a bolt action 22 rimfire rifle and the other on a Marlin 336, 30-30 rifle. I use these guns for walking in the woods, hunting squirrels with the 22, and deer with the 30-30. They have just the needed magnification range for heavy cover hunting, and the adjustable objective parallax for various distances. These are compact, lightweight scopes that don't take up too much space or add too much weight to the rifles. Just what I need.

I followed other reviews about ordering a larger size than normal. I ordered a 3X and it's a perfect for sporting clays. Had I ordered a size smaller, it would have been too tight. I ordered the gel pad to go with it and glad I did. Wish there was a Velco closure to hold the pad in the pocket. I used tape and that holds the pad in fine. I would recommend this for sporting clays, but do order a larger size than you normally wear.

I wanted to carry a spare mag for my S&W 6906. double stack 9mm gun. This was a perfect option for a mag that didn't have a snap down cover flap. Easy to put on and take off with the metal clip. I prefer leather over cloth pouches. This matched my Galco brown leather holster for the pistol. The double stack mag is a little thicker so I wanted a single mag pouch that wouldn't print under a T-shirt.

I bought this holster for my Sig M11A1, 9mm double stack compact pistol. The gun fit a little tight at first. I had a small bottle of "leather holster lube" from another company and put a couple drops on my fingers and rubbed it on the inside of the holster. After 10 minutes or so for drying, I tried the gun and it went in just a little easier. I'm sure after use the holster would loosen up a little. But I'd rather have it tight at first, then loosen up with use. This is a retention holster with a small tab sticking down under the trigger guard on a holstered pistol. You reach down with your trigger finger extended, and it naturally contacts the release lever. Then as the holster unlocks and the gun is withdrawn, your finger is positioned to go directly into the trigger guard and on the trigger. It's a great holster and I am very happy with it.

I was a little reluctant ordering a size too big as some of the reviews suggested. I'm glad I did. Might be a little big over just a T-shirt in the summer time, but during the 6 months of cold weather it will work great with a thicker undergarment for warmth. Has generous amount of shell pouches and other carry pouches for empties and a hand towel. The only thing I wish it had is a Velcro style closure for the Reactar recoil pad. That pouch has an open top. Several times I've taken the vest off and laid it down only to discover the recoil pad had slipped out of the pouch. Going to take the vest to a local alterations seamstress to see if they can add the hook & loop flap that I want. Otherwise I recommend this vest to anyone who does a bunch of shotgunning. It doesn't have a game bag, but would work as a shooting vest in the dove field.

As the product information states, these mounts will fit both 3/8 and 11 dovetails. All you have to do is turn the small removable piece over and it will fit the other size dovetail. I use these on both American and European made rimfire rifles and they work very well. You don't need tons of torque on a rimfire so it is not necessary to use so much force that you strip the screws. I will continue using these for my dovetail rimfire rifles.

I installed this on a Remington 700 G2 5R in 6.5 Creedmoor. It came with a H S Precision stock that had 2 sling studs already installed. Putting it on the rifle was very easy. Out at the range it set up and the legs extended very easily and locked tight. It allowed me to sight the rifle in from a shooting bench without having to use bags in the front. It adds a little weight to the rifle, but this is not a walk around gun. Overall I like this bipod and will be using it mostly at the range.

My Remington 11-87 20 gauge shotgun was shooting about a foot low at 30 yds. I ordered this Beartooth comb raising kit to see if it would help. It corrected the problem. It comes with several foam inserts of different thickness. This raises your cheek off the stock a little, causing you to look "over" the rib and moves the pattern higher. I used the thinnest foam insert and it raised the pattern about halfway to where I wanted it. I used the next thickest insert and it centered my pattern exactly where I wanted it. I oedered the brown color model and it looks really good on the gun, matching the wood color. I have a 12 gauge 11-87 that also shoots low. Will be ordering one for it, too.
