You can always take it off if you are evolved in a stalk on a animal. It isn't like you have a sling from years ago that didn't have quick detachable swivels.

I carried one in a lunch box for over 10 years, then some scumbag decided he needed a lunch box and stole mine out of my truck.

My question is, did you sign a contract stating the price? If you didn't you are at the outfitters mercy on what is going to be charged. Anything with a substantial amount of money is going to change hands should have a signed contract in place.

I would not stamp it on myself. I have a stamp set and practiced with it quite a bit but I could never get the spacing or alignment of the numbers and letters to look right. If anything I'd talk to a engraver and see what they can do for you instead of it looking like a hack job.

While I personally believe that he arranged the shells and tried as hard as he could to screw Trump I don't think that this indictment is going to succeed in anything but wasting a whole bunch of taxpayers money.

I read the threads on that and would have no problems doing it. But that's where having a informed travel agent comes in handy. They will know just what you need to do. I have no problems following the airlines rules as long as I know what they are ahead of my flights.

Just use a travel agent that knows about traveling international with rifles. I have never heard that you couldn't check a firearm on Qatar if you are flying on Airlink, sounds like a story. Just have your paper work in order for Qatar and you should be good to go. However I would never...

I registered in May of 72, the draft lottery started in 73 I believe, and if I remember right without doing any research the draft went through 75 when we left Vietnam. I'm just going from memory

With a charge at 7 yards I would want a double, most people are only going to get off a single shot before the buff is past them and working on the turn around, but even then I think that most would be struggling to get a second shot off with a bolt action.

After watching numerous episodes of TIA I have come to the conclusion that most hunters need to sell their bolt action rifles and purchase a double for hunting dangerous game. I'm no speed demon with my No 1's but with a little bit of practice I'd wager that I could work the action just as fast...

Loosing a best friend like that is hard to take, but look at the memories that you made with him, the stories that were told and the laughs you had. I lost my brother in law five years ago. We had been hunting and fishing partners for over 60 years. That first hunting season after he passed was...

My question for all the experts on here is, How many of you shoot single shots regularly to where you are proficient with them?

The problem that I have seen with hunters using single shots is that after the shot they will try to figure out where the bullet went and what the animal is doing instead of just getting to the job of loading and getting ready for a second shot. On my last muzzle loader elk I missed the first...

Problem is all powders and primers along with new cases are way over priced and have been for a few years. If you are going to load your own shells you are going to pay the price. Unless you stocked up and can use your hoard that's sitting in the closet. In the last few weeks I've used quite a...

If you need it you are going to pay the price. I remember 20 or so years ago when I needed some powder and had to pay up for it, then I sold what I didn't use.
