Yeah, most that I know that have them are women folk!! However, saw more than you can shake a stick at while in Japan. Seem to be great little trucks.

Yup, there are some folks on my area that are using them, great alternative.

Just Empty Each Pocket

Yeah, my old '98 is still working just fine. Though it needs the original tires replaced.

It was checked twice at Atlanta, once coming back into country and again before leaving for Greensboro. Filed a claim with Delta baggage department, rifle was in my possession in a few hours.

Don't know the first thing about this unit other than it's expensive, looks cool and illegally parked.

Hate that you and others have been through difficulties, will happen to all of us sooner or later. My first trip was last August, Greensboro, NC to Atlanta then to Johannesburg. A couple boxes of ammo in a locked case placed in checked bag. No issues here, was figuring that I would be charged...

My first trip, Waterbuck, Gemsbok and an Impala. Shoulder mount for Waterbuck and Gemsbok and likely sku for mount for the Impala.

Caliber I used on my Africa trip and it will likely be there for that second trip.
