My wife and I are considering doing a little touring in Croatia in 2026… I wouldn’t mind tacking on a 3-4 day hunt while we are there.. any neighboring country would be considered for hunting as well… Anyone have any recommendations for outfitters in the area?

Ive got a rifle with a pretty fouled chamber that could also likely benefit from a little polishing.. Whats everyones favorite method and product for said task? Ive seen a lot of guys use wooden dowels inserted into a drill, wrapped with a super fine sandpaper (800 grit or even finer)...

I make an effort to let people know when I have a really positive experience dealing with a business.. especially when its hunting/outdoors related, as I have unfortunately found that many outdoors companies have lost any focus on customer service or treating people right these days.. People...

Americans Gone Wild :) Sitting in the United Lounge in Newark (yuck!) right now, getting ready to board for Jo'berg in a couple of hours... thought I'd get a thread started to chronicle the next couple of weeks adventures.. Myself and a handful of other AH members will be attending a...

Have any of you guys seen any evidence of airline storage fees on your crates coming down? This time last year I know Delta, Turkish, and others were charging $150 per day at DFW... and people were complaining that they had crates sitting in storage for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks...

Up for grabs is a like new Aimpoint 9000SC Red Dot Reflex Sight. I bought this at a TTHA show a few years ago directly from Aimpoint. I initially mounted it on an AR, and then moved it to a Ruger 10/22, but never fired a shot with it mounted to either platform. I just decided I preferred a...

Just made it home last night after spending 9 days in New Zealand.. Exhausted (the flights we chose sucked.. but that's entirely on me...there are much better routes.. I was just a cheap ass and went with the lowest fare vs considering length of time sitting on layovers and which airlines are...

Voting has supposedly now opened for DSC board elections. Sadly it doesn't appear DSC has gotten its act fully together. I received an email on Feb 20th saying that on the 21st I'd receive another email from "YesElections" with a specific title, and that voting would be opened.. No follow...

https://cowboystatedaily.com/2025/02/16/rare-and-illegal-in-the-u-s-toyota-land-cruisers-turn-heads-on-wyomings-i-80/ There’s no way these trucks made it to Laramie without one of you “enthusiasts” being involved! :D

Who needs a pair of new, unused (but not in the original packaging) G26 mags? $35 shipped to your door.. The first "Ill take it" gets em.. Thanks! also listed at one other place..

Who needs some AR10 Mags? Ive got 2x Amend2 AR10 Mags (10 rounders). Nothing wrong with them, I bought them when I couldn't find PMags anywhere so I'd have something to shoot with.. I've now got a dozen or so PMags and these arent getting used.. so Im moving them out of the safe to make room...

this could be an outrageously long post... so I'll do my absolute best to keep it to a minimum... Im giving some thought to investing in a small business that makes chest holsters (among other pistol related things).. I currently use a "litepath" chest holster for my G40, 10mm Glock made by...

Surprisingly…the bear! Honey Badger now has a challenger for the annual Don’t Give a Shit award lol…

Who needs a NV optic to get into nighttime hog hunting on the cheap? Up for grabs is a Sightmark Wraith HD 4-32x50 Digital Day-Night Vision Scope. These retail for about $499 most places these days. I think they were about $599 when I bought this one a couple of years ago. Its been used a few...

We just got back from an 12 day trip (3 days of driving each direction, plus 6 days in the woods) to hunt elk and deer in Northern Idaho.. Long and the short of it is.. after about $6K invested, almost 2 weeks off work, and damn near killing ourselves humping up and down incredibly steep and...

Ill be spending a few days in Panama in November on business.. Ive spent a good bit of time in Panama over the years, starting in the early 1990's.. but the last trip I made to the country was around 2018.. and Ive never hunted or fished there (always in Panama for work, with no down time on...

We've got a lot more hogs coming in this year than last... my buddy and I that share a lease plan on trying to hammer them hard in Sept and early October and hopefully run them off before they start to impact our deer herds... As usual we have an abundance of does (we really need to cull the...

Ive seen a few posts here and there from guys have started shooting Hornadys CX monometals.. so I thought I'd ask... who all is using them? to what extent? and do you like them? Im a dyed in the wool Barnes TTSX and TSX guy.. I really like monometals.. they seem to fly extremely well in every...

Not sure this will have a lot of appeal on AH... but thought I'd offer it up here just in case.. Whats up for grabs is a LaRue Tactical quick detach Picatinny Riser, LT101 (5/8") and a set of Weaver 1" 6 screw rings.. The riser retails for $199.. the rings retail for $61 and change.. So $260...

Ive got a surplus of pistol primers.. It seems that during the summer of mostly peaceful protests I went a bit overboard and bought WAY more primers that I could ever use in the course of the rest of my life (after selling these off I'll still be sitting on more than 10K LPP and several thousand...

Our youngest is competing in the Texas State SCTP championship tournament this week at the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio.. We're headed south in a few hours and will be there through Sunday (awards ceremony).. If youre around, coffee is on me... I'll be pretty easy to find.. look...

https://www.winchestersun.com/2024/05/16/kentucky-finalizing-ban-on-hunting-feral-swine-in-hopes-of-slowing-their-advance/ Im not so sure their logic is sound here.... I get that their INTENTION to to slow the advance of pigs... but not so sure banning hunting, so that trapping is easier...

Anyone in need of a super affordable way to hammer hogs? Or maybe just have a different caliber to play around with at the range? Up for grabs is a Suarez International AR15 complete upper (with charging handle, BCG, etc) in 300 Blackout. To my knowledge this upper has never had a round...

https://hodgdonpowderco.com/news/hodgdon-powder-company-acquires-rcbs-reloading/ This is pretty interesting news... I didnt think Vista would spin off RCBS at this time (I thought they were trying to package things up for larger acquisitions from fewer buyers).. Should be a good move on...

Another “hog hammer” and everything you need to smoke pigs/deer/black bears for a very long time is included.. What Ive got is: 350 Legend AR: Bear Creek Upper PSA Lower Upgraded with Ergo pistol grip and stock 2x 10 round magazines Ammo: 120 rounds of federal 180gr JSP Power Shok 80 rounds...

Bottom line up front, I love this rifle, but have decided I need to consolidate some calibers (maintaining the logistics to support 24 different rifle calibers and a half dozen pistol calibers is a PIA), and since this one is really somewhat singular purposed for me (built to be a hog hammer)...

People are quick to leave negative feedback when they are wronged or think they didnt get good quality service, etc.. I think its equally important to let people know when a company provides exceptional service or does something extremely well.. So.. Briley in Houston really stepped up this...

https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/czech-gunmaker-colt-cz-says-2023-revenue-up-18-q4-sales-2024-03-26/ I had high hopes on the Vista/CZ relationship.. looks like it fell apart..

After reading/posting in a couple of recent threads about ammo and reloading supply stockpiles, I took a look at my inventory and realize I have a surplus of a few things WAY beyond what I'll ever need (like a couple of thousand pieces of 308 brass.. in addition to about 200 rounds of factory...

https://legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/2024/legislation/H0587/ Looks like things are changing in Idaho.. I am suddenly super grateful that we grabbed elk and deer tags for the 2024 season a couple of months ago when we could… things are about to get more challenging moving forward I believe..

Up for grabs is the factory synthetic stock that comes on a Winchester 70 Stainless Classic. This one has the barrel channel for a factory "heavy" barrel (i.e. 375 H&H). For 2 piece bottom metal.... further specs are available at the link below.. Theres nothing wrong with the stock at all.. I...

Im in the market for a new(ish?) truck... To be honest, I have zero knowledge of what is "good" or not so good these days.. I typically buy something 1-2 years old (let someone else take the depreciation) and then drive it until the wheels fall off of it... I bought my last truck in 2013...

I wasnt quite sure where to put this.. but believe this is probably the best place? apologies in advance for what I know is going to become an extremely long winded post as well... I've had a fairly large number of members ask me about "Candles for Conservation" as well as about access to a...

Auction is in 5 days.. looks like its in pretty good shape.. thought about going after it myself, but Ive got a few other projects in the works that need my attention at the moment.. https://hibid.com/lot/178977449/1969-toyota-fj4-ll hope someone here gets it! :)

Ive exhausted my google fu.. so Im hoping someone here might know the answer to my question.. does anyone have any idea where Steiner gets the glass for their scopes and binos? an assumption would be AB Schott since most of the high end German and Austrian manufacturers go there for their...

Had to sit in front of the laptop for 3 hours this morning in the queue trying to get out of state elk and general deer tags for Idaho for the 2024 season... but... We were SUCCESSFUL! THe wife and I pulled an elk tag and a general deer tag for the panhandle, and then managed to get another...

There have been a few threads recently related to Day/Night vision and thermal optics.. I try to make it a practice that when a company truly impresses me with customer service or product quality to note it, and then share that information with others. Its pretty common for people to go...
