PROPEL DOWNRANGE AO 30-000725

PROPEL DOWNRANGE AO 30-000725

I see a pic of this knife online one day.  "Man, I wish I was in market for one...."  I google it, it was $140.  Forget about it.  I already have two good Benchmade pocket knives.  Full size Griptilian & my current EDC knife HK Axis.  

Not two days later, there's a email from Botach Tactical advertising this knife for $40 on eBay.  I still didn't need a new knife, but I couldn't resist offering $35 using their "Best Offer".  They accepted it.  XD

Color is more like in the Gerber stock photo at the top.  Lighting made the grip color really pale for some reason.  Grip is big, blade is tad bit shorter than my Benchmade.

The round silver button is not the "fire" button, like with the automatic knives.  As the "AO" in the name suggests, this is an "assisted-opening" knife.  It means that you still have to flick the knife open using the thumb stud on the blade.  Spring assist you in opening the blade, but it's not a push button open.

Like with firearms, when you slide the safety to show "red", it's ready to go(open, fire, whatever).  It's really rough/hard opening, but I'm guessing it has to be broken-in.  If stiffness continues, I might lube it(let's get your mind out of the gutter).

I still think Benchmade is way better, but this knife is WAY too cool for $35.  Botach rules!

Welcome to plinking in Oregon.  Yeah, it's wet.  :(

Glock 19(left) is my new gun.  Just shot it for the first time.  It hits really low, which is concerning.  USP on the right was dead on.

Thankfully, it stopped raining shortly.  It was really chilly before too, but the sun fixed that very quickly.  Fog forming over the ground was kinda cool.

Letting guys try out my Bushmaster, now equipped with Burris AR-536.  Cheap Chinese laser boresighter screwed it up really good, even before I got to sight it in for the first time.  While the scope isn't completely sighted in, red dot(on top of scope) now is dialed in!  So much fun.

I didn't take one selfie!  This shot is too close for mug like this, I agree.  It was the only shot  of myself I could reover from a video I took of the area.  Oh, well.

I wiped down the firearms real well when I got home, but I don't have it in me to clean them.  At least they are dry, I'll clean & lube them later.  :D
