    For Sale: CZ 550 Stock

    My original wood on CZ made me so sad I replaced it with...(insert slight shudder)...a B&C. Which is okay but juat doesn't merit much in the way of beauty points. Nice stock you had here. Great sale. And yes, you should have asked more.

    Botched hunt, moved to fishing around Christchurch.

    Hedge, In my humble opinion you are going the wrong direction. South Island is absolutely stunning. Grab a car and head towards Mt Cook and Fjordland. You will not be disappointed. I am sure there is some fishing down there. North Island is okay, but South is breathtaking. PM me if you...

    Want To Buy .300 Win Mag preferably threaded for suppressor

    I would second the Tikka idea. I see the lack of room in the factory plastic mag. There are some aftermarket metal mags that might have more room. My Tikka is an old .308 T3 Varmint but everything about it is just boring. Shoots everything and groups tight. I did replace thr stock just...

    Sitting here in ATL...knowing somebody is checked in for DL200

    Greetings From South Carolina

    Welcome! I am sorry to hear that you've already given up the solid, historical perfection of a CRF Mauser style action for (shuddering as I write this) the Blaser R8. But fear not! As a destroyer man who has likely trod the decks of an Arleigh Burke and felt the pounding seas of the north...
