Gun and gear reviews My luck continues..

Few days ago I picked up this pelican 1770 for $150 (normally $1000-1500) and today I went and picked up this 1750 off the same lady for $100!

In total I paid $250 for nearly $2000 worth of cases (not saying they’re worth that - just going off what sites are selling them for)

Manufacturers in the gun industry have the upper hand and it kinda angers me.

From small M-lok aluminum pieces that can cost upwards of $100

Or bipods that hit $1000+

Or scope rings that go up to $600

Or Muzzle Brakes that go up to $800

I was literally about to order mdt rings and then thought fuck that.

How are rings worth more than the inclosed forend for my xrs chassis? Or the same price as a grnd pod.

It's a bit ridiculous.

Glad I bought my MDT elite rings before they went up another like $100-$150 lol

I’m glad I bought MDT Elite rings factory seconds on their Black Friday sale. Even more glad they ran out of seconds and shipped me brand new rings for the discounted price.

Hell of a company, I’ll be buying from them again, even if it hurts the wallet.
