    For Sale Dakota 76 African chambered in 416 Rigby with Swarovski Z6I 1-6x24mm EE

    Appreciate the feedback but this information is not correct. The ad has a fair amount of text so maybe some are missing it but it clearly calls out that as the seller i am covering the import fees and shipping. The buyer will pay the price as listed plus any FFL fees. So there are no hidden...

    For Sale Dakota 76 African chambered in 416 Rigby with Swarovski Z6I 1-6x24mm EE

    Good question. The import process isn't overly complicated. Once the funds clear the package ships to BV's Canadian address. They take possession and bring it across the border. The appropriate paperwork is completed and as per regulation a small import mark is placed on the underside of the...

    For Sale Dakota 76 African chambered in 416 Rigby with Swarovski Z6I 1-6x24mm EE

    Thanks for the comment rookhawk. I'm in 100% agreement. I've dealt with the fine folk at Borderview several times and all has been very smooth. Have also met them in person several times. The ad mentions all the import fees are included in the listed price, so the buyer will not have to deal...

    Choosing a rifle for a Saskatchewan Bull Moose Hunt - Input Requested

    Many moose are taken in Canada with the 308 and 30-06. So consider those calibers as a reasonable baseline. As you mention Moose aren't overly hard to put down but if the shot is marginal and there's water around they have a habit of getting into wet spots than make recovery difficult...

    Is there a quad-stick in your future?

    Have recently spent sometime with a set of the Blasers and a set of Viperflex Pro to Go. The ability of the Blaser front rest to swivel is a nice feature. Not that crazy about the twist locks on the legs. Overall the Blasers are good but seem to have a couple cons. The Viperflex legs are a bit...

    Part of being well prepared is considering from time to time if one is a little "too" well prepared. Send me a pm if you have any other questions. Thx.

    Any Sako rifle fans on AH? Let's see them

    Lots of nice Finnish rifles. I'm partial to the stainless 75's. Haven't found much of a way to improve then except for adding McMillan stocks. Here are a few of mine. First pic is a 300 win mag, then a 243 and a 223. Second pic has a couple of varmints. First is a 223, second is a pretty...

    optics-trade.eu ?

    Have ordered from them a few times as well and no issues. They have some inventory but seem to drop ship quite a bit as well. Because of that orders can take awhille to ship, just depends on what your looking for.

    Sako 75 - still a good buy?

    They're very good rifles. I have a few of the stainless versions and use them quite a bit. The only negative I think one could come up with is that they're a little heavy but that's also a sign of durability. Some pro's over the Tikka include all metal mag / bottom metal and there are five...
