Pretty sure everyone would be in for the signed edition if possible

The crate I received in February from RSA took nearly 6 weeks. I'm now nearly at 3 weeks for a tiny crate with 2 euros coming from England. Both through JFK.

Having never hunted bear at all I'm absorbing all information also. I'll know if I draw Michigan in a few more weeks. 10 preference points for the Newberry unit. Those are awesome pictures you've posted and definitely more than I'm expecting to see in Michigan. It will be guided as I live...

I've had decent luck with the Verizon travel pass. The $10 daily like others mentioned. I still use whatsapp regardless. No wifi in camp in south africa last year but was still able to call and text as well as the locals. I've used it also in England, Costa Rica , and El salvador with...

I use the cheap silicone ones on a string. I tie them on the back strap of my ball cap and then hang one over my left ear. Only takes a second to stuff it in my ear. Right ear is down on the stock and doesn't get bothered much. To much hearing loss and tinnitus in my left ear to risk even 1...

I have an Ithica x-caliber in 22lr. I believe only about 300 were ever made. A switch barrel that never took off. This will be posted for sale at some point but currently at a local shop.

If it ever happens I'll be grabbing a couple

My daughter sent this while I was sleeping last night. I haven't verified yet that she took the picture but she lives in Craig Colorado about 2 hours away from me.

To clarify this was just last year in 2023

You need cites for wolf for sure. You used to be able to get it on the way home but the local offices no longer issue them. I applied for mine long before the hunt just in case I got a wolf. Unfortunately I only applied for 1 and ended up taking 2 wolves. I had no problems bringing one home...

I've driven both ways 3 times. Although I always have my 4457 I've never been asked for it. Returning home I've never even gotten out of my car. Neither side has ever looked at my rifle to verify anything. Always have anything ready but I've been fortunate with no problems or waiting ever...

Very nice rifle, I have one in similar condition in 30-06. Very accurate. For anyone interested you can get on the sako collectors forum and they have a link you can get the original sako records for the rifle for about $20. I have scans of the handwritten ledger. Mine was made August 11th...

It's not in the cards for me right now. But just a few more years and I'll be jumping on one of these deals.

I just sold an old diesel 350 that didn't run for 1,500. Cost them another 1500 to get it running and still needed more work as the steering brakes were locked up from sitting almost 30 years. So sounds like a good price to me

I won't be able to check them until tonight but I believe you're correct that they are all 10". I'm open to offers if anyone is interested in them.

Honestly I don't know. I can measure them tomorrow The one has never been taken out of the package

Thank you, Gunshop owner's book didn't show a premium over other calibers and wanted me to list it on consignment at 650. Pretty sure it's worth at least double that. It does have the stupid crossbolt safety though, it's from the early 90s I think.

I have a 625 mountain gun from the first run back in the early 90s i think. I love that one and took a mountain lion with it. Also a 32 h&r magnum. I bought that one new but currently have it in consignment at a local gunshop. Don't wanna put more wear on it and it's fairly collectible.

I have 2 57s. Recently inherited from my uncle. One like yours and a longer barrel also. I've not fired them at all yet though. I also have a new in the box marlin 1894s but I think that will be sold for my aunt. Just not sure the value at this point.

I have 3 vintage holsters for a contender. 2 used and 1 still in the packaging. I would guess 30+ years old. Helping my aunt sell my late uncle's things. $225 shipped for all 3.

Condolences and prayers, I felt this way about my grandfather. My mom's step dad with no kids of his own. A better man didn't exist.

I've only used Andy at shadow aviation out of fairbanks. Super safe, fair and honest

I have 6 at the moment. I'm booked for bear in September in Michigan after a 10 yr wait. And muskox in February. I'll likely never get a sheep or goat. I dropped out of applying in Colorado as I'd rather spend the money on something further from home. I've killed 2 aoudad if that counts...

Interestingly, due to the new airport opening in Nuuk the end of this year I'm no longer seeing direct flights in from Copenhagen at the time I'm going. Copenhagen to nuuk to kangerlussuaq for a total of 24 hours and double the price. Return is direct though. I'll be checking with an...

Did you go early just to look around? Or to prevent possible delays. That's been a concern of mine. Also where did you stay along the way

Look forward to the whole report. I'll be there the first hunt of 25

I got mine in Ontario Canada, but if I wasn't worried about the cost Alberta has a really good outfit. Wolf hunting adventures. They got 28 this year. Minnesota, michigan, and wisconsin currently do not have a season.

Answering this also. I used SSI just like Jim did. We actually only live a few miles apart so I went with his experience. I'm not sure why but it took 6 weeks for my crate to totally clear. It did have 2 finished warthog in it. There were zero additional fees over the original quote. He...

I'll take it. Pm being sent

Sorry , Safari specialty importers

My ph had quad sticks like you mentioned. It was my first time using them and I loved them. Takes a little getting used to but not bad. I now have a set of my own

My shipment came in January through jfk. I used ssi as an agent. I'm not sure why but it took nearly 6 weeks for final clearance. But SSI honored the original quote. They're a little higher to start but had no problems.

It was only a 20 yard shot. I wasn't going to blow him up just for fun so attempted and successfully made a head shot.

Dead right there. Lol I was hunting Pigs in north Texas but had the turkey tags also. Placed the shot and lost no meat at all.

My Whelen is a stainless Hawkeye and the 180 barnes was the only bullet it shot well when I got it. I've killed 1 moose. 1 antelope , 1 whitetail and a turkey with it. The moose only went about 40 yards with a double lung shot.

Since you have an empty case. Have you tried loading it with the safety off as opposed to on? Just to eliminate an issue with the safety

Very cool, I had tags in Alaska 3 times just in case I saw a wolf but only had one failed sighting while caribou hunting. I was successful on my third dedicated hunt in Ontario with 2 only ten minutes apart.

I know you cleaned the chamber, but how about the bolt raceways. Any crud even a couple gains of powder could gum it up.

There's some suppliers in stock on ammoseek About $50 a box

I have zero debt. But I live on a porch. Drive vehicles that look like they should be in the junkyard. I put 7% in retirement fund and company matches 5%. Spend about 20k+ a year on hunting trips but most are 6k all in. I'm 56, work 6+ days a week and will continue to work and go until I'm...

55 last year, I will go again at 58. My traveling life for hunting began at 45 and is rapidly accelerating. Lol A few other countries getting randomly added in also.

I go with my son or alone. Only once with someone i thought was a friend that turned into a disaster. I've always connected really well with guides and on at least one occasion been invited back as a non paying guest to hunt as friends.

My bank charges $45 But every time they have issues and confusion. Sometimes have to go back the next day even. I have used PayPal and venmo for some transactions. They got super confused over the use of an IBAN as apposed to swift code this last time Small local bank that does always get...

I've hunted with Mike 4 times. Twice successfully for aoudad but failed twice on axis deer. I seem to be cursed on those. Since prices have gone up I'll likely hunt them in another country as Texas is basically the same or more these days. Always a good time and a really interesting group...

I did one with pope brothers many years ago. Down by Laredo. Wasn't what I expected though. Drove around on the side by side through the prickly pear. Turned on the corn spreader on the back. They literally ran out within 10 minutes. We killed 6 in a couple hours. Would research better...

On the public land that I deer hunt here in Colorado I see on average 10 other hunters per day. I've seen 1 suppressor being used so far. I've heard of a couple other guys using them but that's all I've physically seen so far.

That's really cool, I worked for Mick and Karen way back in the mid 80s for 2 summers. Although I doubt they would remember my name they should remember the dumb kid from Wisconsin that broke both legs while raking the hay field out in front of the house. Lol

Due to this thread I sent in my 15x50 HD vipers that were not nearly what they were when new. My grandsons 10x vipers were clearer and more usable. Within 2 weeks I had the original binos back but the only original parts was the shell. All lenses and everything else was replaced.

I'm just the produce manager in an extremely busy grocery store. Will be 37 years next month. Busy meaning about 7 million dollars just in produce alone per year. Makes it tough to go on all the hunts I dream of but I'm slowly making progress.

Welcome to the forum, I have 1 of your sights on a marlin and need to upgrade soon. We spoke long ago. I worked on the chef guest ranch when I was a kid out of Charlo
