Firearm enthusiast and I like the outdoors but have never been hunting so am thinking about giving it a try sometime. Seems like there is lots of good information to learn on this site.

Having spent some childhood years in what’s now Zim, an added bonus would be that a hunt could offer a chance to go back for a visit at some point…

Also I have realized that contrary to some media portrayals, serious hunters are actually the most ardent protectors of wildlife and conservation activities. Really appreciate that.

Welcome Joe. It's always a good time to discover the infinitely entertaining and utterly addictive world of hunting.

I hope you enjoy your journey of discovery.

Welcome, I lived in Austin for 10 years and have sadly learned that McBride's is for sale.

I considered McBride's an island of sanity in a sea of delusion.

I hope it works out for them but they are trying to sell the gun business and the property from what I understand, which might be tricky. If it works out there may still be a gun store there but I suspect it will be hard to do. I didn’t think gun store profit margins were very high and if the business is bought separately from the property and someone has a finite lease that would make it less appealing from that angle. Now the property is a great location and is the big value, especially with all the medical facilities around there, but ultimately a property buyer will want to cash in on that and redevelop it.

Hi PaulB. Would you be interested in another WJ Jeffery .450/.400 NE 3". It's an extractor model and in superb condition, cased as well. Made in 1908. The rifle is here in Texas.
