    two firearms added at a small gun show, ruger #1 rifle- ithaca mag 10 shotgun.

    Good snag on the Mag 10. I've been trying to find a reasonably priced Mag. 10 or Rem. SP-10 (basically the same gun, I know). Don't really need one, but unfortunately the finish line is closer than the starting line for me and I've never owned a 10 ga. My hesitation is twofold-first, not sure...

    All inclusive Hog Hunt Packages

    When I drove there last year, I was pleasantly surprised by the ruggedness of the terrain for Texas!

    Portable Bench Rest

    I got one from Sportsman's Warehouse that has served me well. Similar to the 'white' tables that Sams Club sells, but with the sides cut out for a bench rest.

    Thanks for refreshing my memory Will. I knew you sold some nice guns, but couldn't remember the specifics. Wish I had needed one more back then! lol.

    Ultra Light Arms 24 - 30-06 - advice needed

    Forgot to mention, I recently purchased one of the Wilson Combat NULA's in .223 Wylde and it's a fine rifle, but I can't say any better or worse than Melvin's.

    Ultra Light Arms 24 - 30-06 - advice needed

    I have an original ULA in .17 Rem. I'd agree with HS, I've seen then sell in the low to upper $3k range w/o scope. I have a 3-9 Leupold compact on mine and with scope I'd be looking to get in the $3800 range, fwiw.

    At What Point Are DG Hunts No Longer In Your Future?

    Friend of mine hunted brown bear with me in 2023 and we celebrated his 84th birthday in Anchorage. This past December he finished his slam with a desert ram at 86. He’ll be 87 in June and has a Wyoming elk hunt booked and is working on a sable, nyala hunt this year as well.

    Replacing this Old Hat

    Will- with the fancy orange binos you'll be using, my vote is for a color matching 'pimp' hat with a big ostrich feather!! LOL Good luck and have fun!

    Report Scam in AH Classifieds

    Not wanting to be critical, but why would anyone pay via F&F vs. Good and Services. On the $280, that would have been less than $9. Seems to me $9 is worth saving $280 plus peace of mind if something goes awry. Just my .02. Typical scammer tactic to want to use F&F since there's no recourse...

    Removing stuck scope base screw?

    I used the soldering iron approach a few years ago. I had to do it a few times until the screw was hot enough ot melt the adhesive.

    Hearing Aids

    Fwiw, my first pair were Phonaks from Costco. They worked fine, but now I have Jabra and Rexton, also from Costco, and I can't say the Phonaks were any better. For $5k, you can get 3 pairs from Costco!

    Hearing Aids

    I get mine at a local Costco. Their technicians are State certified and they conduct a very thorough test. I’ve been very satisfied with them. The folks who say Costco doesn’t sell ‘top of the line’ product, how do you know that? Are you watching them being assembled or just hearsay? Pun intended!
