    Flying through London or Amsterdam

    Sounds ok. What is SFO? Is it $100 per gun, per case, per person, or per group? We will be traveling with 3 hunters and 6 guns. Thanks for the well thought out answer. Good to hear from actual experience. If we go this route it would be Sioux Falls SD to Atlanta to JBurg the on way home would be...

    Best 30mm rings

    I will admit I don’t know much about gunsmithing and I knew less in 2011 when I had the first scope move. But every time it moved I would tighten it tighter. When I called Nightforce not only did they send a new set of rings but a new set of screws for that set. He said to get them that tight I...

    Best gun torque wrench?

    I have a fat wrench but just bought a new Swarovski scope and it calls for 17.3 pounds. With my wrench I hope I’m lucky to get it within 5 pounds. I don’t want to damage the scope so am wondering if there’s something out there that is accurate but not going to break the bank? Thanks

    Best 30mm rings

    A friend that works at Scheels talked me into a Swarovski 2.3-18 scope that was on sale. I have a couple VX6 scopes that have Night Force rings. I have had them slip a couple times on my 375 RUM. My question is what would be the best rings to use for this scope on a kicking mule? I looked at...

    Wanted 2-12 Leopold

    USPS but I believe it happened at Leopold. There was a VX2, VX3, VX5, and VX6. The 2 and 3 arrived. All 4 boxes were in the box the two higher priced scopes gone, paperwork of repairs for all four were there. Box was perfect, the weight on shipping label was correct for four scopes but we...

    Wanted 2-12 Leopold

    I was beat to the punch on WAB’s scope. So if someone else has one they would like to part with or knows of a business that may have one I’d appreciate the chance. Thanks

    Winchester "Big Five" 470 Capstick

    Do you remember the others. I saw the set at a Sheels 6-7 years ago. Money was tight so I didn’t buy it. It was crazy cheap. Been kicking myself ever since. I think I remember some of them but I’m sure someone here will know them.

    Flying through London or Amsterdam

    It would just be on the way home. We are going to fly Delta. We use their miles on short flights. Last what gun permit do you need. Do you need this if you check your bags all the way through.

    Flying through London or Amsterdam

    I know this comes up from time to time but traveling rules seem to change daily. We have always gone Atlanta to JBurg and back. We are looking for tickets for this summer and it is getting time to get it done. They aren’t getting cheaper and for some time now it has been $3-400 cheaper going...

    Mountain vs. Hartmann zebra

    How I understand it you can export Hartmann zebra from SA but not Mountain zebra? 1. Is this correct? 2. What is the difference visually? Photos would be helpful if you have some. A friend and I are going to SA this summer. He would like to shoot the zebra with the dewlap. I feel like I...

    High capacity lever gun?

    Maybe it is in my head but I don’t feel safe with one in the tube. If it is locked open I have had it close when if is bumped, dog, wife moving to dust. I guess it could be cycled when needed just seems slow and very loud. A lever is safe if hammer is ahead and can be cocked quietly.

    High capacity lever gun?

    Does anyone make a lever rifle that you can put a high capacity mag in? If not can you still get 10 round mags for Remington pumps? I am not a fan of leaving a round in the tub of a AR. Would like a 200 yard gun that repeats faster then a bolt. And hold a fare amount of rounds. Can be...
