You're a better man than me. If my wife told me to get rid of my taxidermy work, I'd opt to get rid of her! GLWS.

Personally, I'm not flying anywhere to hunt without 2 guns. I have too many guns to potentially be shorthanded somewhere on a once in a lifetime hunt. And I too would not want to use someone else's gun. Im familiar with my guns, i carefully selected components, scopes, etc.--and they're tack...

I think the used inventory at any given time is more random than anything. About a year ago, I was looking for a pre64 model 70 in 308 win. I knew they made a lot of them, but took me MONTHS to find one reasonably priced. Right after i found one, i probably saw 10 more the next month that were...

I believe I've seen a post on here about how affordable a used 460 Weatherby can be had relative to the cost new. I believe someone mentioned a classified ad with a like new rifle, with a box of 19 rounds.... I said in a prior post I don't mind recoil, but I'm not lining up to shoot that one...

I'm a sucker for Weatherby. Was just in Tulsa for the big gun show, and I love how you can spot that glossy stock from a mile away. I've got a few Mark Vs, a few Mark XXIIs-- still the coolest 22 I've ever had. I also like their shotguns, I have a Regency, an O/U Athena, and S/S Athena. I'm...

I'm interested in booking an elk hunt in B.C. for 2025. Curious if anyone has any experience with White Swan Lake Outfitters in the Kootenay area? I'd love some firsthand knowledge before taking the plunge.

I know at 400 yds, my 26 nosler has 4" less drop than a 270 win, and is still pushing over 2,000 Ft-lbs

Wish I needed some. That's a very good deal!

Thanks for the input gentlemen. Trip was booked today. And the wife surprisingly didn't seem to care. She thought i booked it months ago when I first brought it up to her. Looking forward to going!

Ha. Thanks for confirming it's worth the trip and it's what they advertise. She'll be okay. I smartly asked her if she wanted to go, knowing that she wouldn't. And I smartly asked if I could bring my oldest, which she said no to because she said he'd be bored. I knew those answers before...

I'm looking for some firsthand knowledge if this gun show would be worth my time. I've been spending the past few winters driving around Wisconsin at the local gun shows on the weekends when I have time, and am always extremely disappointed. They're mostly small and full of crap guns, AR15s...

Good price. Makes me want to buy it and a find a gun to put it on later...

Not to be negative, but for the "improvement" you're looking at, seems like the solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

That's a beauty and one of my FAVORITE calibers. I have 2, a Mark V and a custom pre64 Model 70 in 7mm roy. I like the wood on that better than both of mine. What did that set you back?

If I'm them, for the situation you describe I want something I can get a few shots off quickly and something with some punch that has the capability to take out something bigger. My recommendation is a semi auto in a bigger caliber. My choice would be a Benelli R1 chambered in 338 win mag. I...
