TallGrassHunter, it has been tempting.

I failed to include that I have an FFL and the rifle is straight from the factory with no previous owner. It was sent to me for a customer to inspect, but he would prefer the .300 WM version. The rifle is priced at $10,000 USD

I appreciate the replies gentlemen This series STEYR MANNLICHER SM12 is a head turner. It is even more impressive inspecting it in person. The barrel is cold hammer forged double octagon that has an external twist, quite unique. Moreover, the bluing job... it shines like glass. Included is a...

Welcome Colonel, Semper Fi!

Blue Sky- Awsome bear!

opticspecialist- Did you ever find a Black Bear hunt? There are a few outfitters in Arkansas & Tennessee, possibly Mississippi & Alabama. Just type in Black Bear hunt, [state name] in the window of your preferred internet search engine and outfitters will pop up. Also call the Wildlife &...

Glad you joined, you won't be disappointed this an excellent forum with a wealth of information.
