    Safari Pants

    When I worked at Cabelas I bought several pairs of cargo shorts and pants (at 50% off for employees). When BPS took over, they dropped a line I liked, but don't recall the model. I found an ebay seller with my size- 38x32 - new with tags and I offered $18 for both. $25 shipped. Brought 3...

    Question about 45-70 Magnum loads

    Thanks, guys. I've heard the Marlin 1895 levers can handle the magnums, but not trapdoors. You've confirmed it.

    Question about 45-70 Magnum loads

    I have a box of Buffalo Bore 45-70 Magnum, 430 grain factory loads. Does anyong know if they are safe to shoot in a rifle stamped "45-70 Govt"? A friend is giving up big game hunting and asked me to sell some of his ammo. I don't want to steer a buyer wrong.

    Decided to make a embossed Brass Coin set of the Big 5

    You have a good eye for design and talent for producing the coin. Sell enough coins and you'll have your Big 5 (or 7) covered in no time.

    Weatherby bolt rifles love them or hate them?

    I've had my Weatherby 300WBY since 1985, absolutely love it. Had Vanguards in 243 and 30-06, really liked them as well but sold when I didn't use them for many years. Still get a weak hankering for a 243.

    Are Nosler Partitions still worth the money?

    I've wondered the same thing having reloaded Partitions for years in 30-06 and 300WBY. The results have been good for deer, elk, and pronghorn. But I want to compare Hornady Interlocks at a much lower cost.

    Best hunting knives to be passed down? ...

    Thank you. The knife was $20.00 I stopped because they had some fishing poles and golf clubs. The knife was a pleasant surprise. That was my only purchase. The table is redwood in the "cave".

    Best hunting knives to be passed down? ...

    These are my and my grandson's first efforts. He mostly likes used the scroll saw to get the rough shape then we switch off. It's just fun to see him enjoy it as his parents are divorced and the father lives about 1,000 mikes away. The wood is Amazakoue.

    Best hunting knives to be passed down? ...

    I bought this knife at a garage sale on a couple years ago at a very low price. The price wasn't marked and the wife took my offer. But I don't know the handle material. We think it looks great and would like to try something like it.

    Best hunting knives to be passed down? ...

    I've put wood handles on a couple blades, nothing serious just a Camillus and Wood River which I bought at a local Woodcraft store. I'm thinking about making some micarta scales as they seem interesting and my 11 y-o grandson asked me about how to make them. I watched a couple yourube videos...
