    K.S. Arms Edmonton Review of Custom 338-378 They Built for me

    Best bet is to call Mike at KS and get him to price out what you want done. Something as simple as the three leaf rear and hooded ramp front with white dot adjustable post can change the cost by 600 vs a single sight and simple front sight.

    Tipping Guide

    Of course you will because your cultural superiority knows no bounds. I won't respond to your. further provocations because there is just zero chance any other point of view is ever going to make a dent in your unassailable superiority to the rest of the world. PUTZ X 100.

    So proud of you relentless dedication to spreading the American way. In absolute awe of you cultural superiority. What a self entitled PUTZ.

    Tipping Guide

    The places I go all the time, in my home area, I get great service and great food. That is why I go back, and I do tip them becuase of it. That said, I travel a lot and eat in a great many restaurants. It can be many months before I am back in the same restaurant. I have NEVER seen the same...

    Tipping Guide

    I agree. Have gone to zero tip for all, like I posted above. I refuse to be held hostage to the atrocious business practices of these businesses. I plain DON'T CARE how pissed off the waitress is. Toolate for her to do anything about it but scowl. If she had really wanted a tip, she would have...

    I seek the advice of the brain trust - Of lefties

    I have rifles on most of the LH actions made. The CZ is a good choice, I also like the Zastavas if you want another Mauser option. The MKV in LH is a great and tremendously strong action. The early Sakos, pre model 85 and pre Berretta ownership, as well as current Tikkas are all an excellent...

    K.S. Arms Edmonton Review of Custom 338-378 They Built for me

    K.S. Arms built me a 338-378 Express Rifle on a Left Hand MKV Weatherby action. The rifle turned out beautiful. High gloss blued barrel, 3 Leaf express sights, Pearl Bead, Ramp front sight, glassed into the original Weatherby stock. The barrel is one of their Chrome Moly, cut rifle, hand lapped...

    Tipping Guide

    That was kind of my point. Tipping a cabbie or Uber driver has always made zero sense to me. Very few get out and open doors or the trunk and even fewer help with bags, so outside of driving me to my destination, which I am paying a fairly large fare for already, why would their service warrant...

    Tipping Guide

    You hoped to get an American because they are big tippers, but did you and the other drivers give them superior service because they were big tippers? Or was the big tip just a bonus.

    I did it! I bit the bullet..,, you wont believe it!

    Fun gun. I like muzzle stuffers, and the doubles are lots of fun. If you want a cartridge option for not much more money try the Baikal SXS in 45-70. Have owned a few over the years, they are a blast and they have barrel adjustments so you can regulate it yourself. I had no trouble getting mine...

    Tipping Guide

    This whole diversion into restaurants is sort of off topic, but I think the hunting part is well covered, so I will play too. Here in Alberta, restaurant prices have risen by double to triple in just the last 2 years alone. Part of the increase is food prices, but a much, much bigger cause is...

    Thought our .405 Win guys might get a kick out of this...

    I did the same thing. The components for loading the 405 were just too hard to get and too darned expensive. The 30-06 makes a great lever gun for all round hunting. If I ever come across reasonable priced 405 fodder or brass, I might then buy the gun but not the other way round.

    Tipping Guide

    Tipping is still completely voluntary almost everywhere I go. That said, restaurant meals have doubled over the last 2 years, and the minimum suggested tip on the machine now runs 18% or 20% with choices all the way to 35%. I refuse to tip on those machines, 1 - because doubling the meal cost...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Hunting South Africa With Pringle's Legenday Safaris

    Will be interesting to see what the hunting is like in 2023 with so many years of really low pressure and few hunters.

    Need Some 338-378 WBY Brass To Feed A Needy Child

    One other point, it is very easy to neck up from 30-378 to 338-378 or 378, just run it through the 338 FL or Neck dies. Very handy as the most common brass, especially once fired factory ammo, seems to be the 30-378, at least up here in Canada.
