    Wyoming style chariot racing

    Looks awesome. I always liked the wild horse races at Cheyenne frontier days.

    I normally just scroll past his posts. I will try to do so in the future. It’s difficult to leave an inane comment unchallenged.

    Agreed. I have business in the UK that has taken me there regularly. I will say that I am looking for all possible excuses not to travel there unless absolutely necessary. I will also note that I have many friends in the British gun trade. They are noticeably silent.

    I am guilty of arguing with a pigeon. My apologies all, I will now cease and desist.

    I ran one of the refineries in Alaska and served on the board of the Alaska Oil & Gas Association, so I have some knowledge in the area. Fuels are global commodities priced off of trading hubs. London, NYH, Houston, LA, Singapore…. Fuel at any location on the globe is priced at hub plus...

    Which rangefinder?

    I don’t use a system integrated to my scope, I do use both applied and eagle ballistics apps with my SIG kilo 10k’s. The Eagle app is far superior to applied ballistics, however SIG’s agreement with applied prevents its integration with Eagle. If you need any of these systems inside 400...

    Which rangefinder?

    How far do you go in the backcountry?

    In Alaska you use planes, boats, snowmachines, etc. to get as close as you can. Here are a few examples: Brooks Range Dall ram, 8 miles to plane Porcupine herd caribou; 6 miles to truck PWS black bear: 5 miles to zodiac PWS brown bear; 0.5 miles to zodiac Lower 48 is much easier. My longest...

    on a lighter note...

    We’re in the same zip code. If I add in what I have components for it becomes absurd.

    Africa...when will you be priced out??

    Absolutely. I have a beautiful dall ram mounted. Friends ask me what the hunt cost and I tell them $120 for avgas. Being an Alaska resident allowed me to do things I would never have done otherwise.

    I believe it was the ‘70’s when the Canadian government came out with a list of guns we couldn’t have. I gave one up and later they took it off the list, but my gun was gone. That nonsense made it very clear that gun ownership in Canada is a privilege, not a right. The subsequent lies...
