    Larue!

    Ordered an new Aimpoint from them a few weeks back, and it arrived today. The box was pretty heavy, and I was worried that I'd gotten a brick instead of a red dot, but, lo and behold...



    - Hat
    - Two catalogs (extra "for your shootin' buddy")
    - Bumper stickers
    - BBQ dry rub
    - Armadillo-shaped bottle opener
    - Tactical Paint Mixer?
    - Three copies of the US Constitution
    - Some sort of zombie apocalypse vegetable garden advertisement
    - T2 with LT660 mount
    - "Packed with care by Vincent" card

    This is probably the best package I've got since I ordered a bicycle frame from a company out of Austin, which got shipped with a twelve-pack of Lone Star in the front triangle. God bless Texas!

    Yep they do a nice job, I especially like the dillo bottle opener, worn out a few myself

    Congrats on the T-2, post mounted on rifle pic!

      Do they usually send all this stuff? Was thinking of ordering a trijicon w/mount. Might actually order it now

        Dang, you got a paint mixer. I always wanted one of those (simply because I have never gotten one in all my orders - LOL).

          Great glass and a crisp dot. Way better with my astigmatism than the Aimpoint PRO I had awhile back, and the lower 1/3 cowitness makes for a much more comfortable and repeatable cheekweld for me. And that Larue mount's going nowhere fast, too.

          Gotta say that I was worried about shooting this with the gripwrap, but the Seekins 60-degree selector is super grippy and makes for a great thumbrest. I wasn't shooting upside down while dangling out of the rear passenger seat of a pickup truck tonight but it was perfectly fine for normal offhand shooting with either hand.

              Every box I've ever received from them has had at the very least some Dillo Dust, bumper stickers, a bottle opener and the constitution. Haven't gotten a hat or a paint mixer yet.

                  Very nice, and I didn't know Seekins has an ambi safety, it looks great for the price!!

                  How do you like it?


                  I have the ambi Noveske STS 60', which is polymer, and it rubs my hand wrong. I switched to LWRC 90' selectors and they don't get in the way at all, they've been very comfortable. You never know when another rifle will come along though, may need to try that seekins part.

                      It's good. It's grippy and feels solid. My only "complaint" about it is that they don't sell a version with two of the shorter levers, rather than one short and one standard lever.

                        Try one of their rifles, they are excellent. I have an OBR it is the most accurate rifle I own, the second most accurate is the one I built using a Larue barrel and hand guards, grip and MRT trigger.

                        You get hats, stickers, the constitution and bill of rights, Dillo dust, paint mixer and the Dillo beverage opener. They aren't the reasons to buy from them but it sure doesn't hurt.
                        I'd agree with you but then we'd both be wrong...

                          Wow, very cool.

                          I like that bumper sticker, I guess I should buy a rifle or something so I can get one. (I wonder if my wife would understand the logic on that one)

                            How can she not understand? Prices are as low as they've ever been or will get!!

                            Get a 16 or 18" predatobr, it's very nice. It's the ar equivalent to the nicest 1911 you can possibly buy.

                              They always do that. Give you a ton of coolness to make you want to by more.
                              The liberal see's the glass as half full and tries to take more.
                              The conservative see's glass as half empty and tries to keep it that way.
                              I'm with the people on the side just pouring water in the glass trying to get a drink!
