Praise for Good Value Gear is OK

Probably the same people that use the term Fudd. They feel the need to make themselves superior…in their own minds.

Not gonna lie ..I use that term a good bit...but only when they start drinking in about not like people hunting with AR-15 pre 64 model 70's , how amazing the .270 win is and 1911's

I think finding inexpensive alternatives and posting results is great and gives people options. I’m not a big fan of posting true knock offs / counterfeits though.

I have big dollar stuff and low dollar. If minute of bad guy is good enough then that’s what I want to pay for.

I have a couple of bear creak things. I wanted to put together and AR for as cheap as possible. So I have one that probably cost me under $150 total. And it sits right next to my multi thousand dollar rifles.

Remember , You are doing this for fun . Which does not involve the fuddeckery opinions . Hmmmm is that spelled with an a or an e ?

What does that even mean? Or is it a secret?

The subject of this post is why I used to love the Gun Of The Week page. Occasionally you would see a guy/gal winning with a Remington or a Savage, and you just knew the ones who had spent for the best of everything were wondering why he/she was winning with a production rifle.

Let's talk bipods for a minute.
Having switched several rifles over to ARCA I found myself needing bipods that worked with that "system". While there are bipods that do the job better, I had long been a Harris user. That said it only made sense to convert a Harris from attaching to the sling stud to being ARCA compatible. A trip to the Area 419 webstore left me with a great conversion but my wallet just over $150 lighter. Not long ago, while perusing the ARCA accessories on Amazon I saw a Harris ARCA conversion that attached to the bipod's sling stud and made the conversion to ARCA. It was priced at around $43 all in so I got one. Well all I can say is it was well worth the cost.
Tripods, especially those carbon fiber models with the ARAC ball head, can cost you as much as $1000.
Amazon has a great one or two that are about one-third the price.
When I was working in the firearms industry we came out with a "budget" AR-15 that sold in stores for around $600 when everything else was another 50% more. The secret was it outshot even our 3X priced super duper tactical as h*ll guns.
@Wolfdog91 you're looking for bang for the buck. Nothing wrong with that. You have to be able to be happy with the ones that are so-so at best just like the ones that hit it out of the park.

I've competed in the past but I mainly shoot for fun. To win, you need to practice a lot and have some decent gear.

Years ago, I bought the cheap AR and had issues with it. Went to the range 5 or 6 times, different reloads, etc trying to make it work. Set it aside and bought a BCM. It cost about 50% more, but I have never had an issue with it in the 16 years I have owned it.

I bought a Remington 783, because it was cheap. The bullets keyholed through the target. I had to call Remington and answer a bunch of questions. They sent me a call tag. Something must have been seriously wrong because they sent a new gun. I had to go back to the gunshop to fill out the 4473 and do a background check, etc.

These days, I like to buy quality stuff on the used market. I have yet to get burned that way.

Good question ! It came to me between bourbons . More bourbon analysis is required .

So, I got the question correct. Do I win bourbon?

And none of that 'value' bourbon, please.

To the OP: Do your own thing, if that's what you want. Don't worry about what some people say. You could give money away and someone would fuss at you about it............

I looked at some high dollar AR cantilever scope mounts, an decided my ARs are not accurate enough to warrant the expense of one of them. Amazon has a one piece AR mount for $29.00, it was a Hiram brand and the had 1 inch and 30mm. I once worked with a cool old carpenter that was named Hiram, so I gave them a try. The mounts work great, I tried to get one in 34mm but had to settle for another brand. All 3 of them work fine, no movement, no loose screws. I don't think having a name brand on my scope makes me any cooler than you or you any cooler than me, it just works no cool factor at all and I am happy with that. Check them out Wolfpup.
