Re: Has anyone used one of these?
I made my own out of a piece of kydex from a broken holster and a scope mount ring. works great on one rifle, won't fit on the other.

Well, while it might <span style="font-style: italic">SEEM</span> like a solution to a non problem it just may very well be a problem if you understood what my problem is.
With that being said, my problem is that I typically shoot in an area that has limited space for my brass to land so it can easily be collected. When it goes outside that area it gets lost in the tall grass and is rather difficult to find and subsequently reload.
That's not a huge deal for .223 but, it is for 300BLK. This is due to the fact that 300BLK is not really used by to the extent .223 is and when it is they typically keep it so they can reload it unlike .223.
Thus, I prefer to hang onto my .223 so I don't end up with cases of mixed head stamps or no cases at all when I shoot at my usual spot which is not a public range. Additionally, I find comfort in keeping track of the uses of my brass so I don't end up with a blown case in my chamber. I don't get that comfort when I use range brass.
While I thank you for your highly intellectual insight, this product may very well be the solution to my problem.

Thanks for the input. I read your thread you had a while back but unfortunately I do not have a spare ring and extra kydex in my possession.

Re: Has anyone used one of these?
I think it is garbage and no need for extra weight and things to snag on. Save your money and put it towards a new scope.

Re: Has anyone used one of these?
I took a old fishing net (the kind on a pole to get the fish in your boat), pulled the net and ring, and mounted it into some 2x4's. I set it to the right of my ejection port and it catches my brass. It works well, and only cost me 5 minutes of southern enginuity.

Re: Has anyone used one of these?
I would agree with getting a brass catching bag probably the best solution easy on easy off and more likely to easily interchange.

Evidently you have never been on a firing line with a gas gun on your left side. Getting hit in the face with brass from the gun next to you will put you in a bad mood pretty quick.

Re: Has anyone used one of these?
I just used one of the caldwell bags for the first time this past weekend, I wasn't about to let my nice lapua brass flyto where I couldn't find it. It worked really well and didn't have any feeding/ejecting problems at all. Best of all, it was about $8.

That UTG mesh bag is probably one of the few things that UTG did rather well.

I'm not an tactical operator and I'm good on optics. Are you saying they are junk because you have used one and found them to be junk or is that your opinion of them after having never used one?

Re: Has anyone used one of these?
I have used a mesh bag that was made by I forget who. It does what it is designed to do but I want something that stays on the gun. Every time I use it I leave it unzipped anyhow. I want the brass to go away from the gun but in a downward motion. The reason I am eyeing this deflector is because it mounts beneath my Eotech and hopefully my LT-104.

Wow really? That's the best input you have? Does the OP ever say he's looking for a scope? Extra weight... Really? Things to snag on?
Thanks for your insightful contribution.
