Well...Why don't you buy it from Buckstix and then spend the $50k to get a new set of barrels made for it? The only one showing their ass here is you. Lighten up Francis. Edit P.S. - Buckstix - wasn't the stock buggered up as well and had been repaired or something else done to it?

No outfitters to recommend, but easiest tag is buying a landowner voucher in New Mexico. While not the cost of a leopard, a chance at a 275" bull will cost you at least $9,500 starting out (outfitted hunt). I hunted elk in WY in 2023 and took 4 points in the special to draw. I think point...

Charlie - point taken. HA!!! I should have said - except for the shorts. Depending on boots you might bring the gaiters along even to wear with the pants.

Charlie, It's up to you and the wife on how 'stylish' you want to get. Back in 2016 I shot my antelope while wearing normal green colored Carhartt pants and a black hooded sweatshirt. Granted, I have my full assortment of camo as well - but it's not a necessity. I've read your reports over...

Gould's you can bring back as carry-on. Ocellated you're gonna be doing CITES and have to go through an importer. I noticed the WTA (Balam) hunt has add-on fees out the wazoo....Do a little searching, El Halcon or El Corral come to mind as viable options that might be more cost efficient.

The reflex or "over the barrel" (OTB) has been around for quite awhile, just not that prevalent. I can't speak to how well they work for noise suppression - I've heard differing opinions if AB's reflex helps at all in noise reduction. Dead Air has an OTB barrel version of the Nomad...

Immodium and Dude Wipes - I don't leave home without them! Glad you had a great trip!

LMAO....Bad part is most of the trees I think are junk trees that don't burn well. At least in my sister's neighborhood anyway. Her area is near what I think is '5 Points'.

Sounds like SCI dodged a HUGE bullet with the weather. It was only 3 weeks ago people were still without power in Nashville and frigid cold weather. My sister lives there and had no power for a week. I think over 300,000 customers were affected by the ice storm.

Biggest I ever heard was a Spanish hunter (iirc) took a 120# when Nixon had the spots next to Gonarezhou. Think this was 6-7 years ago?

I kick myself pretty hard when I think back to knowing I could have hunted a non-trophy bull at Nyae Nyae when SMJ had it. Pricing was on par with other non-trophy bull hunts in Namibia. But alas, that ship has sailed.

The closest I think you'll find to 'drop-in' is a H-S Precision or B&C stock. And even then those might not fit correctly. The route you're probably going to have to end up taking is getting a 'blank' and then having someone fully inlet the stock to fit your action. McMillan has really cut...

But Michigan just approved a contract with Sig to supply the P-320/M-18 for their state police.

You put it more diplomatically than I could. Never did care for him - Steve is far from conservative. He just found a market he could make a lot of money off of and the public lapped it up. Kinda like Randy Newburg. Another person posted here about not seeing Rinella being the typical...

How is a New Haven Winchester any different than FN owned Winchester??? Winchester quit being Winchester in 1931 when Olin bought them then made the rifles until they sold New Haven to the employees (forming USRAC) w/ a license from Olin. Herstal (FN Herstal, etc.) bought the plant and was the...
