Went looking for what’s new and noticed there were no optics listed anymore.  That’s too bad b/c I have an optic/LT mount on just about every long gun I own.  I’ve grown particularly fond of the MRO/mount combo!  What gives?

The optic/mount combos have been gone for a while. It was convenient, but I don’t necessarily blame them for not carrying the optics inventory - that’s not really their business model. They still sell the mounts. You just have to source your optic elsewhere. And honestly, you can probably find as good or better deals that way.
