Nick at BulletProoofME.com will be running a SurvivalBlog-only special from Dec.15th through Dec. 22nd. The 30%-off special is for the mil-spec Interceptor Outer Tactical Vest. The similar sale that they ran last year for SurvivalBlog readers had an exceedingly large response. This special pricing is only available because of a military contract overrun. Note that they are running low on inventory this time around. (e.g., no size Medium on sale this time.) All items will be first come, first served.

Reader T.H.Y. wrote to ask me: "Why do you bother putting flash hiders on your bolt actions? It's a big expense for not much practical gain." JWR begs to differ. This YouTube video clearly shows the difference on a .308--both with and without a flash hider.
