Biggest problem I've had is mud covering my license plate!!!!

No problems. Just have the paperwork that the outfitter should provide. Most of the time they haven't even needed to even see the bear. I've done it at least a dozen times driving!

My thoughts are "use enough gun" to take an animal quickly and cleanly. If you cannot shoot a rifle that will do that, then don't hunt that animal!!! If, hypothetically, you are chosing to use a very small bore just to prove that it can be done, is wrong on so many areas. The margin of error is...

Recently, I had opportunity to buy a hat from @rookhawk. A super nice guy. I had to go through his state, Wisconsin. He invited me to to do face to face visit. However, I was traveling in the north part coming back from Manitoba. He's considerably further south. There's a couple of other AH...

I used to have a collection of Marlin 1893 & '93 rifles. Plus is use it on flea bay.....:E Shrug:

@buckstix Fantastic hammer gun!

Report it as soon as you see it. It helps!

I have owned exactly ONE C&H rifle. A Schonauer in 375 Express 2 1/2". Absolutely fantastic rifle. Unfortunately I had to sell it in an unfortunate time financially speaking..:confused: @rookhawk you have truly great rifle made by one the only premium English gun companies left. Good luck with...

Welcome to the family! Lots of great people here

I have a pair of Belleview Air Force Temperate boots that are my go to hunting boots. Belleview boots are the best boots for the money on the market in my humble opinion.

Wolves are there and are predators. Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, BOTH peninsulas have acknowledged populations. I always carry at least a 22 revolver when out in the more desolate parts of Michigan. Some folks may say that a gun isn't necessary. It's better to have and not need it than...

Beautiful pre-war Mauser action rifle!

It helps to see both if you zoom in on the front sight.

I am very surprised that this is STILL for sale!! I thought it would have been sold more than a year ago.

Have a good gunsmith take a look at it. If he says the action is safe, after the barrel getting run over, take a look at the 9.3x62 ballistics. See if it'll meet your requirements.

A 9.3x57 military rifle? That most likely will be a Husqvarna, in a '96 or '98 action. A 9.3 x 62 would be a terrific and reasonable, cost wise, conversion. Not as powerful as the other two options mentioned, however, still with more than enough power for elk and bear.

Welcome to the forum from the Tip of the Mitt Michigan!

Any word on Bertram products? So far they're the only ones that carry 43 Mauser brass. Thank you!!

I have two Husky rifles at the moment. One built on an FN 98 action in 8x57. Another built on the M-96 action in 9.3x57. Both are strong well built rifles. The only thing I would caution, many develop a very small split behind the action tang. They usually not anything to worry about, just not...

Hmm, 43 Mauser is listed, that's the same as 11mm Mauser. Retail cost shows 350. No quantity is mentioned that I can see. I'll get in touch with @RAVEN ROCKS PRECISION to see what they have to say. Thanks for the information!

@yamoon most of my guns are not new. One is a little 410 single shot "hardware" gun. Made by Stevens, marked and sold by a hardware store. It's far from new condition. To put back into good working order all it took was a new mainspring. Exterior is "patina"! And I wouldn't think of of...

Some of you know that I have a Sauer double rifle in 11mm Mauser caliber. My number of pieces of brass is getting low Now I'm buying another 11mm Mauser rifle. I'm looking for any available number of pieces of brass, either new or otherwise. Hopefully someone here has some that they could part...

Someone buy this!! Terrific rifle for a terrific price!!

Well, dang it!! I just bought another rifle literally yesterday! Great price on this one. Good luck with the sale!

Hmmm, all I can say is "beware"

The bast&@ds are getting sneaky. Be vigilant everyone in anything that involves buying, selling or even the eventual exchange of money or information of any kind!

At one point, I too was a long time member of the NRA. Handgun instructor, etc. Then the selling of life insurance and other tasteless things started. I stopped all of my affiliation with the NRA. Good luck! I wish you the very best of luck!!

Two michiganders welcoming at the same time?!!

Welcome to the forum from the Tip of the Mitt! There's a lot of great people here.

Good morning and welcome to the forum.

Plus she's a member here!! Awesome book!

More mountain lions might be great idea also. Might cut the numbers of tree huggers. Just a thought, I could be wrong...

Nah, sounds like you have it just about right! Fine rifles, like fine whiskey is never the wrong decision!!

@rookhawk I'll take #21 the Stetson wool cap if still available. PM coming shortly

I'm currently in upper Manitoba bear hunting. If you still have it when I get back home next week, I'll try to get in contact with you about the rifle.

Didn't you list that a year ago? If it didn't have the white spacers, you and I would be talking!!

I have been fortunate enough to be involved in skinning & processing my bear. 2 years ago, 6'1" squared. Last year, 6'6" squared Before that I no longer remember

That's a good way to judge. However, that's not always true about the short legs. Last year I had a long legged bear come in. Easily over 7ft squared. The single largest black bear I've personally seen in the woods. Unfortunately, I could not get a shot!

Grey Owl out of Lynn lake.

I am currently on my way for my 12th Canadian bear hunt. Some areas near the canal border have a "good" population of 150-200lb bear. The past two years, I've been in north central Manitoba. Bear avg over 200lb, last year, mine was 301lb. This year I'm heading almost to Nunavut. Seems to have...

@rookhawk In the photos shown, there's one thing in common. The hole. That alone would preclude those from being used as a weapon. That hole is a weak area. My first thoughts, they are decorative. I my small collection of stone tools and points, there a couple that seem to to have HAD a hole at...

Almost a perfect big game rifle for a lefty like myself!

Welcome to the forum from Michigan!!

Welcome from Michigan! There's a fantastic bunch of people here!!

Yup, pretty telling about the flip on the pricing. Plus ignoring @BeeMaa photo request .

I have a 9.3x57 built on a '96 action. Beautiful wood stock. I paid $550 for it. I wonder Should I ask 4K for it if I sell it? :unsure:

Trust your gut!!!

Not good news :(

Exactly!! My grandson is in Saudi Arabia right now. His issues are the cost of water and the heat.

Exactly what I thought!
