Thanks for the offers! I want the factory ammo with the box. I just need the fox and deer. (preferably in .224 for the fox and .257 for the deer) I found a box of .300 with the bear.

Leupold fixed powdered scopes were, perhaps, the most rugged scopes on the planet. But, they quit making them a few years ago... I still have 4.

OK. I didn't know, but am not surprised. Many iconic brands of American made quality outdoor goods have now been acquired by "Vista Outdoor" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vista_Outdoor Quality and customer service have sufferred greatly.

The problem with most new scopes is the lack of ruggedness. IMO, only 3 brands pass the "ruggedness test" now - Nightforce, Trijicon, and SWFA. I prefer Leupold, but have to admit that I've had I've had a couple that have lost zero during long flights and long road trips to concessions...

Yes, they are. However comma...

PayPal let's you pay with your credit card, and provides an extra level of protection. I've never protested a credit card charge that didn't work out in my favor. If the seller doesn't have your signature or VERY COMPELLING evidence that the purchase was good and legitimate, they almost always...

I use PayPal tied to a credit card. If there's a problem, I file complaints with both. This has always worked for me.

Try to avoid Zelle, Cash App, or Venmo when paying for something. I try to only buy from folks who will accept credit cards, PayPal, or personal checks. (I think's it's pretty unlikely that anyone on this forum doesn't have a friend who won't accept a credit card for a 3% fee) I would for a...

If I can talk a friend to come with me. I "might" have a Winchester Model 70 in .458 that I would be willing to part with.

I'm trying to put together a small collection of the vintage Weatherby ammo in original "animal" boxes. I'd like: - 1 box of .257 Weatherby Magnum with the deer - 1 box of ammo with the fox (preferably in .257, but IDK if they made it) - so .224, .240 I know Weatherby is making a...

Be especially careful with scopes. I've been scammed twice. Once at a gun show where I bought what looked like a brand new Leupold VX-3i (turned out it was a counterfeit) I paid cash, and didn't have any idea who I bought it from. The other time was off eBay - A Sig Sauer Tango 6T...

I bought a couple of boxes of ammo off Gunbroker this week. There was something a little "off" about the description, so I contacted the seller and ask them to call me. They did. The seller knew what they were talking about and explained everything to my satisfaction. Gave me their real...

Absolutely.

I've only hunted with Adansonia Safaris in Limpopo, and have nothing but the highest praise for their operation. I would absolutely not want a "canned hunt" under any circumstances. The properties we hunted were larger than most Wildlife Management Areas in the eastern US and were "fair...
