    Nordiske shooting sticks

    Is there anyone in the U.S. that knows where I can buy a set of Nordiske 4-Legged Shooting Sticks? My PH had them in Africa and I absolutely loved them. I don't want a different brand, I want the Nordiske brand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Value of Ruger M77 Magnum (.458 Lott)

    I have the opportunity to purchase a Ruger M77 Magnum chambered in .458 Lott with the factory muzzle brake. I'm wondering what the current value is on this rifle. It has a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6x24, which doesn't matter to me because I will be taking it off and putting a red dot on instead...
