With world and local economies looking bleak, we are all looking for ways to save money while getting the best products we can afford. Alpen has been and continues to be a leader in products that offer excellent features, quality, reliability, and performance while maintaining extremely low prices. When compared by price to other optics, Alpen’s optics often far exceed name brand products in performance. This means that if you spend $400 on an Alpen product it will probably be better than other name brand products that cost $400. You might have to spend $600 to get something of equal value and you might have to spend $800 to get something noticeably better.

ACD, or Anti-Cant Device, is manufactured and marketed by Mounting Solutions Plus. Mounting Solutions Plus defines “cant” in terms of shooting as,”the result of a rifle being held off the perfect vertical plane in which it was zeroed. Cant results in rotation of the sights off the true vertical plane.” The device, in a nutshell, is a visual indicator of level which is mounted on a riflescope. Physically it is nothing more than a spirit level mounted into a low profile scope ring.

Most users of Harris style bipods that swivel have wished at some time that there was an easier way of locking the bipod than the provided method. The Harris S style bipods all come with a thumbnut for locking the bipod, however, it takes Herculean type strength or pliers to get it tight enough to prevent the bipod from canting.

When I bought my first pair of Howard Leight Impact Sport shooting earmuffs I was pleasantly surprised and felt that I had gotten a better product than I paid for; that doesn’t happen very often. After having used them for more than 6 months I am still a big fan. I believe that they are one of the best earmuffs you can own without spending at least $150 and I know from experience that there are $200 electronic earmuffs that do not perform as well.
