(Part 3) Best products from r/gundeals

I bought these and shortly after bought a pair of thick Peltor muffs. Having compared the two, the Howard Leights are a fantastic bargain compared to regular slim earmuffs but I strongly recommend going for the Peltors if you only intend to wear muffs and not doubling up with ear plugs and muffs. Shooting without doubling up on these is not possible if you are near anyone who is firing a rifle or is using a brake.

Stereo sound from the Peltors was a huge improvement over the Howard Leight's mono sound. Once you hear the difference, you see what an improvement it is being able to hear where sounds are coming from.

The Peltor set is far more comfortable. As in inflatable mattress vs memory foam mattress difference in comfort. This is to be expected from the price difference, but they are perfectly comfortable for hours and hours. I don't have grass to mow here in the desert but I can imagine these would be great for mowing a big yard. They're like pillows for your ears, seriously. And I just found out that they make Gel pads


If it is in your budget, you can get the Peltors for $180ish when you can catch them on sale.

I currently use the Peltor Sport Tactical 100 ($50) which does have a very basic compression circuit. At least from my personal experience, the noise suppression performance in that model is better and the sound more natural than the Howard Leight Impact Sports, though both pale in comparison to my employer-provided MSA Sordins.

If I was in the market for a new set, I'd probably be looking at:

• 3M Peltor Sport Tactical 300 ($100) - These have a far more sophisticated compression circuit than the 100s;
  
  
• 3M Peltor Sport Tactical 500 ($120) - Effectively the same thing as the 300s but adds Bluetooth capability. While Bluetooth is useless to me at the range, I also use frequently use my earpro for air travel including long international flights, so one less cable in my way would be nice for those situations.
  
  
• MSA Sordin Supreme Pro X ($260) - Newer version of my work-provided set, these do everything quite well but don't have Bluetooth.
  
  Of course, any set of Peltors I might buy would also get 3M camelback gel pads installed, which adds another $40. The difference in comfort with those pads is amazing; with the standard soft plastic pads the Peltors get uncomfortable for me after an hour or two, but with the gel pads I'm fine wearing them for the duration of 10+ hour international flights. The MSA Sordins come with similar gel pads installed, but overall they're $100 more than the Peltor 500 + gel pads.
  
  So yeah, if I were buying today, I would most likely spring for the Peltor Sport Tactical 500 + camelback gel pads for a total of $160. If Bluetooth is not useful for you, you could save $20 by dropping down to the Peltor Sport Tactical 300.
  
  Even just the $50 Peltor 100s should be a significant improvement over the Howard Leight Impact Sports or Peltor RangeGuards.

This is why I linked the 4 can ammo crate also. It seems like a good deal for throwing in the truck since it has a tray they snap into. They are 30 cal cans, but for $6 a pop with free tray it seems like a good trunk set.

I agree though the flat ones definitely are nice for stationary storage.

NP -- here's the actual link. It's my second UTG bag. Great quality, just an overall nice sized bag for the AKV.

it appears others on Amazon have had the purple tint issue -

"This thing had a terrible purple tint to the glass. It's not a dot but a star. And I know it's not my eyes cas my eyes with other sights are fine. It just seems to be cheap quality. My friend also had same problems and would not hold a zero.


If your gonna go for a budget optic get a vortex or sig optics. I had much better luck with this products."

That's a pretty sweet deal. Paid $480 with shipping for my SAW M&P Sport 2. After putting the barrel rail and slings I saved about $100. A Rifle should come with a magazine. Maybe even a sling should be standard. I didn't know how expensive slings are.

​

Plain rifle sling with carabiner/hook loop. It's $10, not $60, I don't need anything fancy.

I'm not sure if you're trolling or not, but I'll help you out here. I'll even use amazon since it's quicker.

​

Grand total 53.55 (60.24 if you want the steristrips plus this will leave you with extra for additional FAK's). Now if you wanted to get fancy and add in the combat gauze/quickclot, that's where you'll spend some change. TBH though a good pressure dressing (properly applied) is going to do pretty damn well for most people's uses.

Not all Amazon prices are the best deals. With our the coupon code our price is better than Amazon. This was the first one I looked at.

Copied from my post on /r/guns:

Which of these two scopes would work the best for plinking/squirrel hunting. Yes, I know they are both Chinese crap, but I don't have much money. Any good deals in $25-30 range?

Option 1: https://www.amazon.com/CVLIFE-Tactical-Reticle-Crosshair-Hunting/dp/B007UT3OFC/ref=sr_1_19?s=hunting-fishing&ie=UTF8&qid=1542046737&sr=1-19&keywords=rifle+scope

This was the rear sight I was planning to go with if I got a pinned front sight upper since I saw no need for a folding rear sight.

You can go cheaper yet, but they start looking a little sketchy IMO.

​

Edit: also, the kit you linked has the EPT trigger which is supposedly a good improvement over standard mil-spec. I was just reading a review today that put it on par with the ALG QMS trigger.

DO NOT BUY THIS DEAL.

Did you ever get that Vortex elsewhere? If not, I've been pretty happy with this.

these amplify ambient sounds so you get better than normal hearing. they are superior in every way to the howard leight impact sports, but they are pricey.

$225 shipped on Amazon Prime ($4 cheaper than Brownells pre-rebate). Also $225 on Optics Planet. And $225 at Walmart. Just FYI.
