Atflbox 2 Pack Shooting Target Stand with 10pcs 17x25 Inch Sight in Paper Targets, Durable Paper Target Holder with Stable Adjustable Base for Cardboard Silhouette, H Shape, USPSA/IPSC, IDPA Practice - $37.99

Decent deal. Add some scrap lumber or new 1x2 pine boards for about $5 and the range is hot.

Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40mm CDS Duplex Reticle Rifle Scope Matte - $229.99 (Add to Cart to See Best Price) + FREE Shipping

Can someone help me understand why this doesn't have more thumbs up. It looks to be $70 cheaper with free shipping?

35% off Green/Red Bore Sight Laser with 64 Adapters Fit 0.17 to 12GA High Precision for Rapid Adjustment, Bright Laser Bore Sighter, High Visibility, Beginner Friendly w/code 4HDDRFEK - $18.84

I have a lesser quality version of this. Each tip I have is adjustable and not solid. Regardless, with the goal being "on paper', my 450 Bushmaster was dead center. Definitely worth the small investment in ammo, but more importantly, time.

PSA Sabre-10A1 Forged 16" .308 Mid-Length w/Moss Green Receivers and Burnt Bronze Rail - $1082.99 after code: GUNDEALSMSABRE5

The quality of their AKs seems a lot more variable than their ARs.

PMC X-TAC 5.56x45mm 55gr FMJBT 1000 Rds - $439 w/ Code: GUNDEALS10 + Free Shipping

I got 1000 rounds at Battlehawk armory a couple weeks ago. Priced at 399 plus tax and shipping. Think it came out to about 430 or so at the end. Suggest keeping an eye on them for the next time they drop that special.

IFG Tanfoglio Force Combat 9mm 4.4" 16rd Semi-Auto Pistol - $558.88 + Free Shipping

Thanks - I appreciate the info and will keep at it. I’ll also look back into CZ replacing with some CZ parts.
It’s been a struggle, so glad to hear someone out there has some appreciation. Fingers crossed I can find the same experience.

SOPMOD AR-15 Lower Build Kit - $69.95

That's a tacfire sopmod not a b5, buffer tube is 6061, and trigger is not schmid. Probably all cheap tacfire parts that ar15 discounts and midway like to white label as house brands. Worth payimg a little more to get better parts.
