    Bars and restaurants average their costs across the whole portfolio. A significant increase in acquisition price on European wine will result in higher prices on all wine and spirits products. There is no winner here.

    Modern Day Classics?

    If it is your main rifle I assume it will get more use at home than in Africa. 30-06 is great for North America. Maybe go up to .338 mag if you hunt a lot of big bears. At that price point I’d either get a new model 70 super grade or buy a pre-64 model and save a few more dollars and get it...

    Champagne can’t be produced in the US. You can make sparkling wine but can’t call it champagne. Many alcohol products are unique to their region even mimicking the techniques doesn’t result in a product with the same characteristics.

    Canvas/leather gun slip

    I posted a bisley case in the previous version of this question. For lightweight cases I really prefer canvas especially when traveling. They can roll or fold up to fit in a gun case or luggage.

    Two Gold-medal Stags, Hungary

    Do you have a link to your hunt report? I’m having trouble finding it. Who was the outfitter?

    Modern Day Classics?

    Very budget dependent. I would get some form of model 70 CRF. Basic classic model at the low end, super grade above that, and full custom if I could afford it.

    The term socialist by political parties in Europe doesn’t always carry the same meaning that socialist does here. But sometimes it does. It’s very confusing actually.

    New York “Big 5” Trophy Ban Sails Through Committee with Complete Disregard for African Conservation Efforts and Self-Determination

    Getting in and out of Newark isn’t the problem. If your final destination is in NY you’d have a problem. Possession is punishable by up to two years in prison. Existing trophies are grandfathered but you have to register them and get a certificate of possession. Pretty bad bill if it passes.

    New York “Big 5” Trophy Ban Sails Through Committee with Complete Disregard for African Conservation Efforts and Self-Determination

    Trump has no ability to overrule a state law. USFW does oversee interstate transport but I believe the state can be more strict. The state just can’t restrict products transiting though their state but if NY is the final destination they can be more strict than federal law. If it passes I...

    Swift .375 300gr A Frames coming back into stock!

    I said the same thing. I ordered mine in November didn’t ship until end of January because they didn’t have the boxes. I said I’d take them in a plastic bag but he said his dad wouldn’t let anything go out not perfect. He did say if I had a hint coming up quickly and needed something fast they...

    Let's see your bolt knob checkering - looking for ideas.

    It also looks nice and has no downside. It’s not like a checkered bolt is harder to work with your palm.
