    Best Rifle case for international travel?

    I asked Jim Shockey what he used for his world travels . He said Pelican for guns and a Cabela's case for bows.

    Fireplaces & Firewood

    #1 make sure the wood had been dried at least one year, preferably 2 . Oak for example will have cracks across the cut side once it is dried. -- #2 The following link. Our family home growing up had 2 fireplaces and my Dad and I would cut trees for people. No charge, we just took the wood...

    Handguns for women

    It largely depends on the individual, but as multiple people here have already stated --Ruger SP101 double action in .357 with a grip activated laser sight. (If she does well with 38's she can try 357 or stay with .38) I have recommended this setup multiple times to at least be tried by the...

    I am wrong. They do have iron sights.

    Safari Rifle Market-Have we reached the point of no return on cost?

    I'm with you. I'm no longer one of the moaners... After my 2008 direct dealings with gun makers I had a reality check. As I said to Mtn Infantry, there are lots more lefty guns now than there used to be. Thanks for your explanation

    Safari Rifle Market-Have we reached the point of no return on cost?

    I agree completely.. Like I said in my original post make it a LH DG rifle and the market is probably one of the smallest worldwide. I was just adding my .02 about supply vs cost not reaching all segments of safari rifles. At least for the entry level LH DG hunter

    Safari Rifle Market-Have we reached the point of no return on cost?

    --I like all of the posts including the falling block, but it kind of proves my point. Leftys largely can't shop for what they want, they have to settle for what's available. --I first noticed this back in 2008 when I wanted to buy a LH with the latest (at the time) technological advances. I...

    Safari Rifle Market-Have we reached the point of no return on cost?

    I agree. This will be a great rifle for a lefty who has hunted or has plans to hunt DG many times. Personally, I have not hunted DG, yet... So I can't justify cost if I don't have multiple DG hunts planned. (I did look at this gun for a long time though))

    Safari Rifle Market-Have we reached the point of no return on cost?

    honest question --- so if there is a "Buy It Now" price, you ignore it and contact the seller with a low offer?

    Safari Rifle Market-Have we reached the point of no return on cost?

    Respectfully, in 15 or so years of looking for LH guns (shotguns, lever, bolt, etc) I've never seen a LH model go for less than 130% of a equal specification RH model. As far as the not selling well, I would probably agree since most LH shooters give up looking for what they want and settle for...

    The Gales of November remembered

    I brought this thread to the front because the freshwater inland seas that are the great lakes and the hundreds of ships and lives they have claimed over the centuries are unusual dare I say unique to our world. In addition. every day, every person, every trip, from each of our lives becomes our...
