How does it hold up on direct fire?

After thinking about it I do not think it was made for direct fire, still great for the price.

I've used an older set directly over the fire for several years. It will warp and discolor but will work fine. Really, it's a cheap mess kit, you're not going to cry if it gets ruined.

This set does well directly on campfire coals. The only problem is that the black knob handle for the pot will char, and the handle for the pan gets flimsy loaded with food or water. The metal itself holds it shape, and cleans up nice.

I have only used it on a propane stove and it works well for that. From my experience over the years, I would say that it will work on a camp fire but would reduce the life of it because it is made of lightweight aluminum.

Really now, don't use over direct fire. Let fire turn to coals and kit holds up well and allows you to stir, flip or whaterver you need to do without burning your fingers.

I have not used it on an open fire, but i cooked many times with it on my MSR Pocket Rocket and it holds up great! I put the flame on full blast to boil water fast and the pot was fine. And the msr packs a huge jet engine like flame, very hot! I would recommend this mess set. I love my set!

I have not had a chance to go camping yet. I go next month. So I just went into the kitchen and used it. It i very thin, however it made a great scrambled egg. I can see it is no longer flat, but not so out of shape it will affect it. It is very light so back packing would be great with it. I will add more after I have really used it.

I have several hundred rounds through my DPMSLR308 and it holds up like a champ. I had the custom ballistic dials made for my loads, and its super fast in the field. Its a great scope and super quality.

I have mounted it on my AK 47 and it seems to be holding up realy well. i shoot about 200 rounds and it held the ajusment. NICE I got it for a rifle I am putting together to make a sniper rifle, a mosin nagant with a archangle stock. I figured I would try it on my AK and if it could handle it it might be able to withstand the Nagant, we'll see

I have it mounted to a Keltec KSG shotgun shooting just about everything including some 3" and it has held up just fine. Maybe 500 rounds or so I'd say.

I bought one for the wife and was surprised that it is plenty strong enough (I have to pull it back for her). My compound is set at 65# and it easily shoots as strong as that. The arrows are cheap (buy some carbons). I couldn't tweak it in with the peep sights so i put the scope on (it was a little difficult) and it shoots fine. All in all plenty of power and well worth the price. I would suggest a puller as it cocks the string evenly.

Holds up perfect on mine, taken it to the range three times since I put it on and never budged an inch.

I have no complaints. I've had it for like 8 or 9 months. Pretty simple. I use it mostly to hold a small shotgun mic. But I've had field recorders and led panels on it. Everything stayed mounted so I'd say its worth it. All metal except for the red knob.

So far its shell area holding up well. Although im not rough on my guns, the elastic is tight, one thing to expect is the sling to turn as they always do, with the extra weight it seems to turn more

It stays fast. The only issue is when you're changing the sheets. If you pull the corner up on the fitted sheet the weight of the gun can make the whole thing fall on the ground. Take the gun out prior to fitting the sheet and then put it right back. Isn't an issue, just FYI. Drawing the weapon is easy and seamless, but I use a Glock 23 so there's nothing for it to catch on. Still, I don't foresee any issues with a different gun.

I can say it is sturdy , I can't say .308 recoil but 9mm is fine I haven't had any complaints and I have used the sight regularly , hope this helps

I don't have a Surefire, but I can say that this maglite is extremely durable. I have a small farm and try to remember to carry it with me any time I go out at night. I use it while out late at night on the tractor/ATV to check fence lines, find animals, etc. I haven't dropped it too many times but it has gotten wet from rain and dirty an dusty from general use and it still works and looks great. It feels very solid like you would expect from a MagLite.

Hi. So far so good and I shot about 100 shots with it. I have it on my Benjamin Genesis gas piston air rifle so the recoil isn't bad on it at all. But the scope over all seems very solid, much better then the CenterPoint scope I had originally.

I have had this mounted on my AK47, many shots down range. Less than 1" at 50yrd and less than 2" at 100 yrd. Friend mounted one on his AK with the same results, he just bought one for his AR15, and I'm getting one for mine. Several negative reviews out there, but I can't speak to other peoples installation/mounting or use. Mine and friends work great, holding up to AK47 recoil, multiple disconnects and banging around in /out of trucks. Still holding zero after 8 months. Buy it, price is good and it works.

I have only fired a couple of clips through mine since adding the laser but it looks to be holding up great. Seems to stay on target so no problems yet. But again, I have not fired it much.

The gun can be a little on the heavy side so it's hard to hold steady free handed. If you put it on some type of support and it usually shoots pretty good. Also the cheaper pellets tend to wander all over the target. Buy the higher quality ammo. That should help out also.

It handles hits at about 1150fps from my .177 Hatsan 125 at 20 yards just fine. The orange stickers of course start to disintegrate from the first use, but I just spray some white paint on the paddles when needed to keep the visibilty up.

It is very durable and mine only got a little crack on it that did not affect the function of the gun after it had been drop of of my deck and on to concrete
