    JKO would be a fine choice indeed!

    Suppressors off the NFA list!

    I believe you dont have to buy in person from places like silencer shop as long as the suppressor goes through their participating dealer network where you pick from one of their dealers listed on their site. It will ship direct to your local dealer and because they are part of the class they...

    Scope for a 7mm PRC

    I’m a big fan of the Leupold vx6 with tmoa reticle. They are probably the best lightweight scope out there and have the magnification that I like over the vx5. For my eyes it seems to have the best eye relief and forgiveness of the eye box where I can get onto the scope and it lines up great...

    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    I finally pulled the trigger on the GMT II “batgirl”. Like I said in my previous post, I’ve wanted one for many years and just never got around to buying one. Originally I was going to buy it for my 50th birthday. The warranty card was dated the day my dad went in for open heart surgery in the...

    Scent Control Questions for Safari Concession Owners/Managers

    I am right there with you. I read this a while back, from Missouri's Department of Conservation: STRANGE BUT TRUE: White-tailed deer detect odors 500 to 1,000 times better than people can. I suspect that other species are similar to this as well. This is actually higher than dogs, and dogs can...

    Recommendations for elephant skin tanning

    I chose this color for some of my gun cases. I felt like it had close to a natural look to it. Choosing based on what you see on a phone screen versus seeing it in person is kind of a crap shoot. Hopefully I chose well but I liked what I saw so went with it. Hard to tell but it might be the same...

    Rolex- the stupidest, lamest company

    I have always wanted one but I have held off for a long time. I would like to buy a GMT Master II (Batgirl) but I hate the fact that the only way I could get my hands on one is the secondary market and pay 8k more than msrp for it. I will probably buy one in the next few months but it will...

    Recommendations for elephant skin tanning

    I am not sure who the taxidermist sent it out to but they just said they send it out to their leather workers. I suspect there aren’t a ton of places that do it and they might all use one or two shops in town. In fact, the pictures I got were examples made out of hippo leather just to give me an...

    Recommendations for elephant skin tanning

    I had mine done in Zimbabwe. The total tanning for for all of the panels was $2216. I have zero idea on the quality of the tan as I haven’t received the crate yet, but I believe it will be just fine. I had a bunch of gun cases made, belts, ammo pouches, ammo belts, and wallets. All of that was...

    How do you seat primers ?

    I moved over to the Honady Versa Prime bench tool about a month ago. It makes priming way easier and works extremely well. I’ve only used it for one session of 100 cases so far but it was very consistent when priming the adg brass for my 6.5prc. Once you dial it in on the correct depth, it was a...

    What Type of locks for Gun Case and International Travel?

    Good grief, so don't believe the TSA website that you can use TSA locks, but we should just go and believe whatever AI tool you just used because it knows better than the Transportation Security Administration government website? What question did you ask it? Did you ask, can you use TSA locks...

    What Type of locks for Gun Case and International Travel?

    Far from it but I have to deal with Rural Development, HUD and the IRS daily. I just don’t live in a bubble I guess.

    What Type of locks for Gun Case and International Travel?

    I think this says more about you not being willing to accept that government agencies interpret the law all the time and clarify what congress has written into law. I don’t know why it’s so hard for you to accept the fact that TSA puts it right on their website that you can use TSA locks on gun...

    What Type of locks for Gun Case and International Travel?

    This is interesting because there is nothing on deltas website that mentions this in their requirements. Their website just says it needs to be locked in all lockable spots and follow tsa and government regs. It’s stupid that we have to fight this all the time because people make up their own...
