If I correctly recall the thread, @Wishfulthinker580 and....well pretty much every routine member of AH...were wondering what happened to @VonGruff. He was an awesome resource on knives and guns and, though I didn't have any of his knives yet, it sounds like he was/is a true craftsman.

https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/cz-rifles/cz-model-550-safari-magnum-458-lott.cfm?gun_id=102391772 Seems like a good price. Posted by WLM & Sons. I've purchased from them before and they are G2G. Trust me, I'm a random guy on the internet.

No worries. Glad I'm not the only one who goes full Jose Walez from time-to-time. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/998837366 Found this one, but neither caliber is my cup of tea. Found it before I saw your post on the caliber preference, so please disregard my bird dogging.

@RR314 here's one up in the land of censorship: https://ellwoodepps.com/dakota-arms-76-takedown-traveler.html At that price (with exchange rate), you might come out money ahead.

I'll try to keep this civil, so as not to violate AH's Terms of Use because I generally like this forum. First, thank you for confirming that the Spokesman article was incorrect about the basics of Gordon's conviction. Second, you contradicted yourself about IOGA and FAG. In one sentence you...

Read for yourself. The Spokesman got it wrong on a few things; Gordon went to federal prison, not jail. https://www.spokesman.com/stories/1997/jun/09/poaching-has-impact-on-idahoans-illegal-hunting/ There was indeed a court involved. What's your point? My dad worked for Gordon for a couple of...

Forgotten Weapons has a good YouTube vid on those rifles.

LOL I see you met Timmy. Sorry to say, but that's not abnormal behavior for him. My best friend guided one season (because that was enough of that) for him about 15 or so years ago. Also, IOGA is a damn joke. By joke, I mean crooked as Highway 12. You want to see what those folks are made...

On behalf of @rookhawk, I'd just like to say, "too bad it's not RH." LOL...oh, I couldn't help myself. I joke.

Very valid points. I've made the same comments of, "if that were LH, I'd buy it", but that's just a cop out. I have never let LH/RH stop me from buying a rifle I want. Also, I can't think of a single animal that managed to survive because I was a LH shooter with a RH rifle. When I start whining...

Whoa, I think I can narrow down the problem. As a new father, I've been studying up on this over the last few months. @rookhawk either didn't get a nap, needs his diaper changed, or he's hangry.....or a combination....hell, it's hard to say for sure.

I have a .460 Wby in the Dangerous Game Rifle. It's even more rare because it is LH, as God intended. I like it, but I don't love it. What I like about it is that it has a factory muzzle brake, which makes a big difference. I am going to machine a mount so that I can shoot it suppressed...

Wife: "What a terrible place to put sandbags." Me: "The presidency. What a terrible place to put a demented old pervert."

A Ford stuck in mud. Mud is brown. Poop is brown. Ford just went full woke. June is LGBTQLMNOP+- month. Need I elaborate? Too soon?

Beautiful wood for an A5, in my opinion. The wood and the fact it was a 1929 manuf. were why I purchased it.

How many of my tax dollars went to the making of this video? Serious question. I guess I shouldn't be too mad about it; the USN has a drag queen for a recruitment tool.

I find them to be delicious and reflective of my intellectual capacity.

....I like crayons!

My two Frederick Beesleys.

Agreed. They really are beautiful! I had the clear epoxy-like coating crack on that rifle during a bison hunt. -20 degrees Fahrenheit is unkind to anything.

....WTF? A Walmart in Idaho where everyone has a gun under their shirt is nearly the safest place on earth, second only to a gun show in ID or MT, where everyone has a gun under their shirt AND several on the table.

I am an absolute wood whore. This one is on a .340 Wby that a client gave to me.

Good. I'm glad you disagree.

I absolutely love .300 H&H. Congrats!

Meh. Those people have been slaughtering each other for millenia. "This Is Russia/Ukraine/Belarus/Romania/Bulgaria/Slovakia/Croatia/Poland/etc." I feel bad for the innocents, but you can't keep two rabid pitbulls from fighting. Not my fight and yet the Child Sniffer, Demonrats, and Repos keep...

Correct. Very nicely engraved, beautiful wood, and based on Sako actions, like the .338 Win. Mag.

I have the .270 and .243 cal siblings to this rifle. I say that because it has the same initials on the plates. I lost track of the .338 Win Mag sibling. It sold with RIA, not too long before I acquired the .270 and .243.

Screenshots, but still readable. I am addicted to Spicy Friday.

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/984082888. Merkel double in .375. B. Searcy takedown in .375. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/981597532 Model 95 Farquharson in 450/400 https://www.gunbroker.com/item/983886300 LSB is pretty nice to deal with, even if they are Californians.

I guess they were Finnished answering your questions....................................

You would think so; they can't just make rifles for the peasants. I've been a Sako fanboy my whole life, but I'm stepping off the train now.

Some people, like my hunting partner, are bound and determined to be ignorant.

Seriously, why limit yourself to one firearm? My daughter is 3 months old, but I've used her as an excuse for at least a dozen rifles, several suppressors, and at least three pistols. I've purchased left-handed and wrong-handed bolt guns for her because who knows if she'll be right or left-eye...

Virtually identical experience with my hunting partner. He said my bison hunt last year was "like going out to the pasture and shooting a cow." Well, it wasn't, but try convincing him otherwise. Edit: for the record, he didn't go on the hunt. As for Africa, he says those hunts are "stupid" and...

I regret every firearm I didn't buy, but I am an addict.

I totally misunderstood your post. I am sorry. Please accept my apology. I got all aggressive and dumb. In my defense, I am probably the third generation of my family to be literate lol.....and maybe "literate" is a bit generous.

....if that comment is directed at me, please elaborate and let's get down. If not, please disregard as a senior moment on my part.

All guns matter.

https://www.syracuse.com/crime/2023/04/751-guns-including-36-assault-weapons-turned-in-at-syracuse-buyback.html?outputType=amp. This just makes me sick for so many reasons.

If it wasn't theft, the IRS Agents wouldn't carry guns.

Hi, I'm Will. I am a gun addict. But seriously, I am thinking of starting a support group. Before I do that, I thought I'd be an enabler. https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/101322314. Wrong-handed Interarms .375 H&H. https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/101309717 Another wrong-handed rifle; John...
