Designed to provide each user with integrative mount design solutions that are ready to meet every mission-essential need, GDI has gained a reputation in the defense community by exceeding military specifications through their precision craftsmanship and durability.

 

GDI was founded in 2002 by Marco Gonzalez, the company’s CEO; who through his experience as a U.S. Navy SEAL, brought operational military knowledge of the need for a solution to the then-current optic mounts issued to the war-fighter.

 

“The precision and accuracy just wasn’t there when we needed it,” stated Gonzalez.  “I took it upon myself, as a personal mission, to develop a product that would not only improve the function and durability of the optical sight mount, but optimize its performance to increase accuracy and keep our war-fighters safe while defending our freedoms.”

GDI’s origins as a provider of high-threat security services and specialized weapons and tactics training for military and law enforcement personnel, provided a research test bed that ultimately led to the development of its precision mount line.

 

Today, the sole focus of GDI, is to provide the defense and shooting industries with viable COTS, and developmental mounting solutions that meet the respective needs of the military and law enforcement operational communities, and shooters within the civilian sport, hunting, & tactical competition areas.

There’s always one firearm you don’t really have a need for but still want to buy. The reasoning is never quite clear, but emotions surpass logic in these cases. For me, that firearm is a bolt action rifle in .375 H&H.

If Africa is the most romantic continent, then the .375 H&H is the most romantic rifle cartridge. It was used by famous hunters at the turn of the 20th century to bring down the largest and most dangerous game in the world. It’s spawned numerous smaller cartridges. It has been surpassed in power and size, but it’s still the standby hunting rifle cartridge for those who want to be able to take on anything on land without breaking their shoulder or not being able to find ammo. That’s basically why I want one. It’s just…cool.

Such a rifle would make more sense if I was about to venture to Africa for an elephant hunt, but there aren’t any animals within a few hundred miles of where I live that couldn’t be humanely hunted with a .30-06. The .375 would still make a spectacular hunting rifle, especially with big solid bullets that wouldn’t fragment and destroy meat. But in reality, there’s just no need for a .375, and so I probably won’t own one any time soon – but that doesn’t mean my desire for one has lessened.
