Texas Pigs and Coyotes with EOTech Sights, Night Vision and Thermal Imaging From L-3, Lots of Hardcore Black Guns, $25,000 OPMOD Revolver, and Mudbugs

Steven K. Ledin,

Seven guys from L-3 EOTech were here last Tuesday. A few of us from OP had productive meetings with them most of the day. These were to be our hunting partners for Texas hogs. After work we went to my favorite restaurant in the whole world, the Italian Kitchen, where we feasted like kings until the wee small hours of the morning. John and Emerald really outdid themselves this night above all others. Incredible. I especially enjoyed the buffalo steaks, raspberry chicken, and Australian high jumping rabbit among the dozen or more courses they brought out, and the Kentucky

>Pig Guns, OPMOD, Hard Cases, and Pistols

Steven K. Ledin,


Our pig killing guns and equipment cases are on their way to Texas. The above video was an impromptu thought before I shipped them. Our videographer extraordinaire, Devin, was on hand to film a taste of my reasonably disjointed babbling explanation of what I shipped and why. I wanted to show how the OPMOD bags are useful creatures for a variety of reasons. In this instance, I removed the foam from Storm 3300 and Pelican 1750 cases and inserted the OPMOD bags. Often, during hunts, you will need some sort of soft case while travelling by vehicle from one place …

Freedom Arms .454 with OPMOD on Weaver MIL-STD 1913 and Modified SSK Mount

Steven K. Ledin,

About 25 years ago I finally had some money saved that needed to be spent on my gun addiction. A friend's dad had just bought a 6" Freedom Arms revolver and it was too much for him. He wanted to sell it. Like so many other items I lust over, this manufacturer's products were way out of my league, pushing two grand retail even way back then when their guns only came one way. There were no Premier models and Field models, they were simply the best they could make. To this day, Freedom Arms makes the finest revolvers

>Barrett REC 7 5.56 First Report, Setting Up for Night Vision Texas Pigs

Steven K. Ledin,

Got friend Mark a Barrett REC 7 in 5.56 a couple days ago. Since the choice was up to me and I know Mark’s tastes, I knew he wouldn’t be happy with average, or even a very good product. For various reasons I picked up a REC 7. There isn’t really an upgrade from this piston system of proven quality and robustness. My thanks to my home shop, GAT Guns for always taking care of me.
Got the gun home and played with it. For well over two grand I certainly expected a better trigger, less play between upper

SHOT Show 2011

Steven K. Ledin,

The SHOT (Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade) show was in Las Vegas again this year at the Sands convention center. OpticsPlanet brought more employees than ever with us this time. Seventeen people went, and about half of them had never been there before. It’s a real eye opener. It’s always exciting to me, still, even though I’ve been to over a dozen. This year there were over 57,000 attendees, and over 1,600 companies represented. It is the largest show of its kind in the world. For folks like me that are veterans of the show, it’s always …
