Dear Joy:
AR-15s and similar rifles are flying off gun store shelves these days. If you’re one of the buyers, here’s your chance to put a top-of-the-line red dot sight on your new rifle – and at the same time, help defend all your guns against anti-gun groups and the Obama administration.
Here’s how it works: Aimpoint, Inc. and MidwayUSA will donate $100 to the NRA Institute for Legislative Action for every Aimpoint CompM4 electronic red-dot sight package purchased by NRA members from MidwayUSA through the end of 2008.
This is a great opportunity to get an Aimpoint CompM4 at a special price and help NRA-ILA defend our firearms freedoms. The Aimpoint CompM4 is currently used by the U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force as the M68 Close Combat Optic. It is also in service with the Navy and the Marine Corps.
In an extra show of support, MidwayUSA will pay for a one-year NRA membership for every non-member who buys an Aimpoint through this program. So go ahead and forward this message – you can help a friend get a great scope and a free NRA membership at the same time!
This special package includes an Aimpoint CompM4, quick-release mount, spacer for AR-15 or similar rifles, killFlash anti-reflection device and MILSPEC rubber lens covers. The program ends Dec. 31, 2008, so to order your Aimpoint and support NRA-ILA, visit www.nraila.org/aimpoint today!

$700?? holy cats!

Well, on the other hand, I just pimped an all-titanium lock-back pocket-knife from LEO that was several hundred dollars; a lot, I suppose, for a folder. (Though I need a good lock-back folder to take into non-gun-friendly areas of the world. And, one supposes, a bit of training to go with it. I am, however, by my sensei’s own admission, great at “thinking on my feet, so I suspect I’ll be awesome with edged weapons, once I find some to fit my hand.)
I’ll never go back to Alaska without one: there are areas in which no matter how you dress, you are followed down the street by males who suffer from the off-kilter male-female ratio. It is not flattering; it is creepy.
BTW, on the subject of optics I’ve heard a rumor that the February issue of Guns & Ammo has a nice column on optics, by–of all people–the magazine’s handguns editor. Apparently, as a lifelong four-eyes he has great strategies on where to spend one’ money such that the tool “fits the job,” and one gets exactly the optics one needs—starting with the ones perched on our noses, and touching on what we need at various times/ranges for taking big game, glassing while stalking, and bringing home truly artistic photos from the wilderness—or from the studio. It’s good stuff.
