    Upgraded to these from a heavy AR500 setup and I just wish I'd done it sooner. I've heard of Apex before but didnt pull the trigger thinking I what I had was fine until I was educated further by others. I have 0 regrets buying this and its an amazing setup. No complaints and the multi curve is amazing. thanks john!

    Hard to find a good carrier in M81 woodland lol. This carrier is really nicely constructed. I got it with shoulder pads, sidekick rifle mag pouch and a DIC pouch. Really happy with it as I upgraded from a cheaper setup.
