    ITW Fast Mag question

    Re: ITW Fast Mag question I like the ITW mag pouches and have used them for a couple of years. With that said, I obtained some of the HSGI TACOs a few months back and I have been really happy with them. I can just leave them on my belt (I run an armored belt) and use them for whatever...

    Rifle Scopes USO Monocular

    Re: USO Monocular I think your direction is the right one (at least for me). I would not want bigger then the Aimpoint 3x but an increased magnification would be ideal. I like how rugged the Aimpoint is so something similar would be great. I am not as attached to the reticle but options...

    Rifle Scopes USO Monocular

    Re: USO Monocular I certainly would be interested in seeing this. I currently carry an Aimpoint 3x magnifier on my gear if I want a quick look at something. It is compact and lets me see a little better without grabbing binos etc. As long as it stays small I think it will be full of win...

    School me on 1st aid kits.

    Re: School me on 1st aid kits. North American Rescue puts out great "turn key" solutions for IFAK and larger kits. You'll scarcely see a military vehicle without a NAR WALK strapped to the outside. Chinook will build to your specification but you need to tell them what you want and you will...

    38 and my wify wants me to reinlist

    Re: 38 and my wify wants me to reinlist Learn about Paleo and follow the eating suggestions. It is not too tough and you still get to eat good food. If you couple this with a good fitness plan (I and many others use CrossFit), you will lean out quickly. The tough part will be eating...

    multi cam

    Re: multi cam Another vote for Crye. They have held up the best during hard use overseas. Their sizing for me can be a bit odd so I would contact them to make sure you order the right size.

    Man Bags...

    Re: Man Bags... As stated, Saddleback produces some good stuff and it is pretty rugged. I own one of their large traditional briefcases in chestnut and it is a sharp looking case. They are spendy but it isn't a joke that your grandkids will be getting the thing. Another bag I am really...

    Need Pack Advise: Kifaru vs ?

    Re: Need Pack Advise: Kifaru vs ? According to their site today, both of the FAST packs are made in the US. I believe that most of their clothing is as well but some is not. All of the pants, shorts, and shirts that I have gotten from them were made in the US but a sweater I received was...

    Need Pack Advise: Kifaru vs ?

    Re: Need Pack Advise: Kifaru vs ? Kifaru packs are made to order since there are options, so 6 weeks may be the current run time. With that said, they do occasionally have things on hand and it is also possible for a shorter wait time. If you are leaning that way, give them a call. I have...

    Need Pack Advise: Kifaru vs ?

    Re: Need Pack Advise: Kifaru vs ? I don't think you will find a better quality or more comfortable pack then the Kifaru. I own several and have used their products for years and highly recommend them. They are also made in the US with great customer service.

    Night Vision Surefire IR filters, any good?

    Re: Surefire IR filters, any good? It's a repeat of what has already been said but they do work. I have used them for years with no complains. It obviously is not the same as a dedicated IR light since it is a filter but they work.

    Bushmaster

    Re: Bushmaster Hopefully this won't turn into an epic AR vs AK debate and I know everyone has their opinions. With that said, I am not a fan of Bushmaster Firearms and I would consider them to be "consumer" grade weapons at best that I would never trust my life to. I can fill pages with...

    Blackhawk Plate Carrier

    Re: Blackhawk Plate Carrier I have not been impressed with BH over the years and I have seen too many of their products fail in the field due to poor workmanship and materials. This was not true in the early days when their products were produced in the US and made from Cordura. I have used...

    Boots

    Re: Boots I think that footwear is a very personal thing and one boot does not fit all. Depending on the width, arch height etc will drive your footwear. I started using Danners in 1988 when I was first issued the Acadia, and wore them for years. I have owned numerous pairs of Danners and...

    Anyone tried S&W 5.45x39 upper?

    Re: Anyone tried S&W 5.45x39 upper? I have a couple of the S&W uppers set up and they have run without issue for me. I have more than 5000 rounds through each. Spike's Tactical also has a 5.45 upper which is sold through Aim Surplus. I have not used Spike's but if it is like their other...

    What GPS device for hiking?

    Re: What GPS device for hiking? As others have said, Garmin makes a great product. I have have used them for years (recently gave away my 12XL) and I still take my Geko wherever I go in the world. I will be truly bummed the day it dies since they stopped making it. The Map 62 (I use it...

    Another spotting scope topic.

    Re: Another spotting scope topic. Thanks dcshoo. I like the Horus reticle but thought the same about the H-32 v H-36. I'll certainly look forward to your feedback on the H-36.

    Another spotting scope topic.

    Re: Another spotting scope topic. Since you chose the Mark 4 with Horus, did you choose the H-32 or the H-36? Whichever you chose, what made you go in that direction?
