    Delta Airlines - What Am I Missing

    I question how delta gets by with their prices and their service. Not so hung up on the service but it’s only occasionally when we fly that delta makes it on time or doesn’t cancel the flight.

    Flying with Bolt Action rifle - Bolt in or out?

    I’ve flown with bolt in and out. I’ve never had any issues with damage, but I generally fly with it out now. It seems to make it easier for gate agents and whoever else have to check the rifle feel good quicker about it being unloaded.

    Flying comfort plus?

    I don’t feel comfort plus is worth the extra cost. If you measured it I’m sure you’d have more room but it isn’t a noticeable difference to me. Go economy or premium don’t bother in between

    Model 71 experience?

    Awesome caliber and gun! It will flatten any deer or pigs you shoot with it. The model 71 is everything a lever action should be. The quality and smoothness of the 71 is unrivaled in my opinion. Go for it you won’t regret the purchase.

    Hornady Brass quality? What is your favorite brass for safari calibers?

    Hornady is decent quality brass. On some of my prairie dog calibers I have as many as 8 reloads on hornady brass and still going. As far as consistency of weight, length etc, hornady usually has a bigger variance than normal, lapua, adg, etc

    What bolt action rifle do you regret buying

    Remington, pre bankruptcy quality was questionable at best and was steadily declining. I’ve not seen anything from the “new” Remington to make me want to have another.

    We’ve stayed a hotel in Vancouver numerous times with a firearm with no issues. We’ve hauled it thru Vancouver in a taxi too and have never gotten a second glance.
