    A superb businessman, veteran, and skilled rifleman. MidwayUSA is always my first stop for parts, reloading supplies, accessories, etc. Their customer service and service to shooters and sportsmen (and women) in general is on a par with Leupold and among the very best of all businesses in the sporting industry. All the best, Larry!
