    permethrin?

    I used to use it quite regularly when I belonged to a archery club where chiggers were prevalent. I was concerned with skin reaction since I have pretty sensitive skin, and the can said to avoid contact with the spray on your skin. One day a gentleman came through one of our shoots who had a...

    My name is_______ and I have a problem

    Any Rigby would be awesome. I will endorse the R8 as well. My wife calls it the Pandora bracelet of guns. You buy one and have fun continually buying new ”charms” to add to it.

    Blaser ideal Africa 2 barrel set

    I’d be aware that while having a spare 22 mm forearm as Hunting Hitman earlier suggested is a great idea, they are nearly impossible to find now. Blaser USA informed me last summer that a separate forearm is no longer available from them. I asked for a custom order and was turned down. Too many...

    Site Slowing Down?

    For what it is worth, things seem to have sped up exponentially since I was viewing earlier today. I hope the planned changes go well and whatever has changed since this morning keeps us using the site at the speed we were used to. Thanks for the efforts.

    Hanging a zebra rug suggestions...

    I believe if you zoom in on the plywood pic, you can see the rows of screws from the top edge going down. I put a few pieces of 1x4, cut down to 2” wide behind it and screwed them from the front. They also made a nice anchor for the picture hanger wire.

    Hanging a zebra rug suggestions...

    Here is mine. 2 sheets of 3/8” plywood spliced together, cut to shape with a jigsaw. All edges spraypainted black, then upholstery tacks to fasten the skin. Heavy picture hanging wire attached in 2 places. I only need 1 hole in the wall for a fastener, and can change the angle it hangs at...

    Best looking stock

    Natural light makes a big difference in appearance. My R8 Jaeger and sunlight highlighting the most dramatic fiddlleback I have come across.

    Megabass Pagani Trad

    I can only find limited info on them online. Maybe a JDM only product? Definately a throwback, nostalgia product in my opinion. I can say with confidence though, if Megabass is putting their name on it, the quality and engineering will be top notch. I am personally a Diawa and Shimano guy, but...

    USA: North Carolina Waterfowl

    @RBurg44 Haha. I don’t doubt that you actually do. Mrs. NW James wants her cement pond first though.

    USA: North Carolina Waterfowl

    @RBurg44 Nice report on our hunts down there. You have done a awesome job so far in researching, planning and booking hunts for our Slam. This one really does deserve a lot of credit. There were a LOT of moving parts with 6 guys at 2 different outfitters each day, and 3 outfitters on the one day...

    Wanted Blaser R8 17 mm Forend

    I had talked to Cove Creek and Blaser USA, and I believe my brother had talked to Mad Dog. We were told forends were not available separately, you had to get a stock set. I thought I had read on AH of guys having aquired them in the past. Blaser USA said that even on a warranty case, if you had...

    Wanted Blaser R8 17 mm Forend

    Thanks for the offer DB. We already resolved the situation however. I had promised to buy my brother the barrel he wanted and get him a 17mm forend that was close to his buttstock in return for the 458 Win Mag barrel that came on his gun and his forend with the 22mm forend. When I realized you...

    Wanted Blaser R8 17 mm Forend

    I guess I did realize I was in search of unicorn feathers. How about a jaeger stock set? Butt stock and forend with 17 mm channel for standard taper barrel.
