    Client Rents Rifle, Client Damages Rifle or Scope, Who Should Be Responsible for Repair?

    Four times in Africa I have used outfitter rifles. Twice to shoot buffalo, once to take my last plains animal when my new scope crapped, and once at the start of a safari when a hasty bedding job after rebarreling my Springfield failed. Honestly, I'm not sure I was charged a rental fee any of...

    Solo DIY Alaska moose float hunt ‘26

    I prefer Muck Boots but I guess you have good reasons to go with waders instead. Breathable I presume if you are taking wading boots?

    Solo DIY Alaska moose float hunt ‘26

    If you're dropping the outboard motor off the list, how will you be covering all those miles? Just paddling/oars? That will be interesting if the boat is full of gear or moose. I was going to suggest extra spark plugs and a few tools but no longer needed I guess.

    9.3x62 bolt rifle barrel length...

    I have 24" barrel with #5 profile on my 404. Surprisingly, it balances perfectly at the front of the floorplate. The gun is a bit heavy but I'm used to that. My upland shotgun is a 31" Browning A-5 Magnum Twelve, probably the heaviest twelve gauge ever made, and I carry it all day almost...

    Mauser M98- Has Anyone Purchased One Recently?

    My mistake. I didn't think the Expert model came with Model 70 style safety. But it does.

    Buying Lingerie. . .

    My friend is not interested in buying any lingerie. Owning it wouldn't satisfy the variety of olfactory stimulation at the core of his "needs." Or so he tells me. Anyway, his girlfriend's lingerie came in the same box with her.

    Mauser M98- Has Anyone Purchased One Recently?

    The difference in action design is not nuanced. Both Parkwest and Model 70 have 3-position side safeties and accompanying modified bolt shroud. A "pure" Mauser design utilizes the flag safety on the back end of the bolt shroud. A significant difference that should be apparent to anyone at a...

    Buying Lingerie. . .

    Is it a criminal offense to sniff the lingerie in Walmart? Asking for a friend.

    The owners of the Ambassador Bridge should erect a billboard: Welcome to the Oligarchs' States of America. This explains Trump shooting from the hip. Gotta keep those campaign funds coming in. GOP will definitely need the $$$ this year...

    Mauser M98- Has Anyone Purchased One Recently?

    In 2023 I built a 404 Jeffery on Czech military 98 Mauser standard action. It is indeed smooth cycling ... but not nearly as smooth as my 1903 Springfield 03A3. That pup is slick!

    Mauser M98- Has Anyone Purchased One Recently?

    I wonder if it is Expert. His appears to have Model 70 style safety.

    The "child" was eighteen years old. I'm guessing a problem within the family was the source. All the kids killed were in the same age group as the murdered step brother at home, eleven or twelve year-olds. The sister was spared and ran to a neighbor home and they phoned police. A police...

    The Legend Of Dick Hammer

    Saved you for us. Sometimes taxes do good things. Booze up here is taxed heavily. So I just do without. My liver and waistline aren't complaining.
