>Weaver Tactical Mounts and Best Scope Values
July 16, 2010
I’ve been pretty impressed with the new Weaver Tactical line of riflescope mounts and accessories. I’ve been suspect of this company since the last couple of owners screwed it up royally. Seems like ATK, the new owners, have really cleaned house and started fresh. The made in USA tactical line is a perfect example. Innovative products, made here, with items that are well thought out and usable. There’s an AR Ambi Sling Adapter that does not require you to remove your buffer tube. How come nobody else has thought of this yet? The Rail Mount Sling Adapter is another well

Happy Independence Day! From an old Navy salt to the rest of the veterans, thanks for serving!
Three day weekend coming up for some. More time for projects. Lately I’ve cleaned and mounted some turkey skulls for Mark the Turkey Hunter, scrimshawed some Alaskan walrus ivory necklaces for a friend’s wife and My Shirley, built a 1/6 scale motorcycle for one of our displays, cooked a lot of grand food, and I’m building some elk chili to take to a fireworks party. Took the hog to work four days in a row this week. Working on an AR with everything

>OPMOD EXPS2 EOTech, Pistol Match, and Spiderman Boxer Shorts

The OPMOD EXPS2-2 and EXPS2-0 EOTechs are selling like crazy. These OpticsPlanet exclusive products’ notoriety has taken off due to chat on popular gun forums and industry word of mouth. We are actively working on more OPMOD products, as well as a variety of exclusives.
It’s been busy here, like normal. Just like poker, I’m all in. My projects are so numerous they seem like schools of salmon swimming upstream against a raging current. Occasionally a bear grabs one. Lately one of the projects is assembling a 1/6 scale Harley for a display. Too many parts!

June 3, 2010
OPMOD is an acronym for OpticsPlanet MODification. OPMOD products will encompass our own versions of go-fast products meant for the tactical crowd. OPMOD is a play on the acronym SOPMOD, which means “Special Operations Peculiar MODification”. SOPMOD is a kit of various items issued to certain military special forces units to configure their M4s or SCARs to their own wishes by the addition of certain products from the SOPMOD kit.
The exclusive OPMOD EOTech EXPS2-0 and EXPS2-2 holographic sights utilize a single, transverse battery and a cantilevered battery compartment meant to

My Visit to Leupold and a Tunnel Dream Come True
May 27, 2010
As a very young man, many of my fantasies seemed almost unattainable at the time. Getting a driver's license was a pretty sure thing, but many years in the future. Losing my virginity was another one a long time coming. Getting my own dog took a while. Going to Africa on safari was just a pipe dream, as was walking on the pyramids of Egypt and racing cars and motorcycles and many other experiences.
Before I was interested in money or motorcycles or girls, there were guns. I've never not known guns and shooting, even since birth,
