    Rifle for daughter

    I assume you would want to carry all the guns in one case. If you plan on going back to South Africa and using one gun case, don't get her a gun of the same caliber you are bringing. There is a limit of one gun per caliber. I believe the all guns in a case should belong to one individual and I...

    Travel duffle bags

    I have started using the Osprey Transporter Wheeled Duffel 120. It weighs 8.13 pounds and is lighter than most of its competitors. When I fill it up the total weight with the bag is 50 pounds. With much more it gets pretty tight. It has waterproof outside material--in a light rain you are...

    Here is why everyone should have AirTags in all their baggage…

    I have AirTags in all my luggage. It showed me that apparently my luggage was gone through in Vienna. The luggage arrived and the AirTag continued to stay at the Vienna Airport. It continued to show its location for months. LOL

    Truck - what do you drive, and why?

    The only engines in the current Tundras are the i-FORCE twin-turbo V6 engine and the hybrid version.

    Truck - what do you drive, and why?

    There is no 5.7 V8 in the current Tundra. I have that engine in my Lexus LX 570 and it is solid. After just finishing the fuel line temporary fix recall and the brake campaign, I find out there is another.

    Best options under $1500

    Stoeger is owned by Benelli which in turn is owned by Beretta. The Maryland service center might be Stoeger. You have multiple different options if that is not the direction you want to go. https://www.beretta.com/en-us/service/find-a-service-center

    Alternatives to wired transfers of money

    Hi, I am about twenty miles east of the loveliest village on the plain. I am just off I-85 two miles from Georgia Line. I use Regions in Auburn and surprisingly had difficulties. The bank employee that I dealt with today may be the only person there with a normal IQ. Very helpful and...

    Best options under $1500

    I don't know how much experience you have or if you may want to make one gun do all. A lot of the "sporting clay" guns will be heavier than a typical field guns. I would decide on what action after shooting a good bit. I am a Beretta guy and have various O/U and semiautomatics. I have shot...

    Alternatives to wired transfers of money

    A friend of mine is from Germany and expresses amazement when dealing with things like this in the US. The bank I deal with is fairly large with 154 billion in assets. I may just be dealing with local branch idiots. I don't know if another bank would be better or just have different local idiots.

    Alternatives to wired transfers of money

    I have a few trips coming up and money will have to change hands. It seems like everyone wants a wired transfer of money. My local bank branch (20 miles away) apparently does very little international transfers and is pretty inept, along with being costly. One transfer took 3 hours for them...
