My experience with Cabela's is that they will readily accept offers. Anyone interested might make a lower offer.

Most LH model 70 classics seem to be going for about $2500. If the rail is not permanently mounted it could be removed. Hope no holes drilled in the barrel. It would need iron sights. It probably has a 2 piece bottom metal. Good platform for a build, perhaps.

That's a nice find...

Well worth reading in any case. He is one of the best writers on shotguns.

Puttins weight at the extreme ends of the gun will crush the dynamic handling of the gun (aka 'Moment of Inertia'). If you just want more weight to dampen recoil then the weight should be centered between the hands. If you want to alter dynamics, that is a totally different problem that you will...

After various bobbles with FedEx I now always ship long guns via USPS. Never a problem. I have a nice little Kimber 45 ACP that I need to send for work, but I don't think USPS will ship handguns?

FWIW, chasing velocity in a true big bore DG rifle is a waste of time and powder. Close range shooting is the norm and shot placement and penetration is better at moderate velocities. Just a thot…

It is likely that the same people that feel animals should not be killed are the same people that believe that it is okay to kill unborn babies. Is this moral incongruity? I think yes.

I sometimes wear Boyt's short canvas gaiters to keep seeds, bugs, and thorns out of my socks. They work fine. For use in Africa I dose them with bug dope.

One thing that I do when seating bullets is to start them into the case mouth, them lower the ram and rotate the cartridge 180 degrees and them complete the seating. It seems to promote better concentricity. You might also investigate a Lee collet neck sizing die. I have them in several...

I would like to have an entire set eventually. Thank you for the information.

Everyone should strive to get their game animal down quickly. I have had one obvious bullet failure.. a 120 grain Sierra cup & core fired from my 6.5 X 55 at a very large mule deer at 250 yards plus. The bullet came to pieces and the jacket was shredded. I made an immediate follow up shot and...

I'd like to know when, and if, he plans on a book covering cartridges between 8mm and .375? I have the two books offered here and information on additional offerings is very scarce.

Thanks Charlie, I'll check it out.

Available?
