    This is what I use. It's compact and fits in my pack or my hunting vest pocket.

    If you've got a good prismatic compass, it's even better.

    I also use a Nikon ProStaff 7 Rangefinder. You can get apps for your phone too. I turn mine off and leave it in the truck every time, so that wouldn't work for me.

    I've been using a couple different phone apps but my buddy let me use his Gunwerks BR2 rangefinder with his Gunwerks 7mm mag. I was looking into getting one but they are way too pricey for me and I stumbled on that conx/kestrel combo that sounds like it does almost the same thing but with 2 separate tools.

    I just looked into that one. It's very nice but still substantially more money than the CONX/Kestrel I found. I wish I had more money to go into the rangefinder but it all went into the new gun and scope.

    Bleh, found out at the gunshow today that MD now requires both Stripped Lowers AND complete lowers to be registered as pistols, so I missed the $250 DPMS lower they had. on the upside, i snagged an aluminum Upper out of a vendor for $60, so its a start. now for the other 150 parts....

    I know I have enough mags (well...maybe), but if you are looking for a high quality mag that's a little different, the Lancer L5 AWM in see-thru smoke is $12.99 at Midway right now. I like being able to see my round count, and I like the metal feed lips. Regularly $17.99, so $5 off.

    Yeah I figured for that price a guy could pick up about 5 pairs and have enough for a few years. I bought the Mrs. a Bail Out Bag for Christmas for like $15.00 or so and it's top notch quality. She put 5 AR mags, 420 rounds of 5.56, her Ruger SR1911 Commander, and 4 Wilson Combat mags in it, and it's heavy AF, but when you grab the handles, they don't give at all. LAPG has some decent stuff at decent prices now and then. They're having a huge sale on AR furniture and mags, etc. right now. I was going to post it but it's about 22 images.

    Here's the link:

    YAA.I get there e-mails also, I liked the gloves because of all the damage to my left hand & all the surgery's, the hand goes cold very easy because of the nerve damage. So I have to watch out for hypothermia. It can come on in minutes, so I have to wear a glove all winter long.

    Indeed, I picked up a couple pairs. Nice, comfortable search gloves. Seems like they would be good for shooting too.
