I would not modify this. The rifle is designed for reliability in a dangerous situation above all else........robustly clear the empty cases from the ejection port is the only goal here, period. Winchester is not concerned with reloading and designed the ejection system as such. I consider it...

Yes, I agree on the heavier bullets, especially in 7x57. We're always looking for another option there, but the costs to export/ship bullets have gotten out of control the last 3-5 years. Then figure in the increased powder costs that have hit the industry and prices become tough to manage...

That's peak wristwatch right there.

Yes sir, that's me. Unfortunately, we have not been able to get the Partitions any longer at a reasonable cost after all the freight to export etc. I'm using my stash sparingly as it's my favorite. Everything we load currently uses an internally produced projectile. We do have a new copper...

Just sent a PM. Thank you

Maybe not to everyone, I thought Denvir was spot on

I waited almost 10 months for my renewal to be approved. There seems to be little consistency to the approval process.

Well, you are correct, but I have a few other purchases in progress that I have to manage now. I'm sure I'll end up with one.

Looks great. It's got me thinking about selling my standard Pelagos and getting one of the GMT's

Fantastic piece. I was wondering how long it would take for someone on this thread to get one. Tudor is on top of the game lately.

Do you have the box, papers and rings? Thank you

I shoot a Model 70 375 and find the old Ruger 77/22 RS 22LR is a great practice tool. I actually have two of them. One without a scope for use with the iron sights and another with a scope. The safety is positioned and works like the M70, so handling is effectively the same. I find that time...

I like that the watch looks to be worn on a regular basis. Very cool piece

No reason a $90K modern truck can't be good on and off road. My old 200 Series Landcruiser, Mitsu Pajero and current Tacoma TRD Pro are/were all great on and off road.

Agreed. I know it's small old guy thing to complain about, but the lack of a proper dip stick to check the oil bugs me too.

Test drove one last month. Realistically, you're looking at $85 - $90K+. It's a cool car, but I found the on-pavement steering to be poor, it doesn't want to track straight like a modern truck and needs constant correction. The salesman said it's a recirculating ball system and is better...

No, I'm talking about Explorers and Explorer 2s. Subs, Daytonas and GMTs are in another league as far as value retention goes.

Now's the time to buy one, pre-owned ANIB prices are dipping below current retail these days if you look hard enough.

Agreed. I went with a NATO to keep it low profile. No one even notices it's a Rolex.

Batman ends up being my "dress-up" watch, but it seems a little flash, personally, for daily wear. Ended up with a black Ex 2 as a daily and the Batman. No wrong answers here. A good friend just bought a nice vintage, all black GMT and it's stunning. That could be the one watch answer.

The Birchwood Casey Barricade is fantastic stuff. Used to live in OR and hunted sea ducks-geese on the coast 3 months/year. Coated the shotguns with Barricade and never an issue with rust.

I also slip my long guns into one of the rust inhibiting stretchy sleeves after I wipe it down with Barricade/oil. Then they go into a soft case inside the Pelican. Never an issue. https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/cabelas-silicone-treated-gun-sock

My PH told me to try both and go with the one that shot best from my rifle. That was clearly the Barnes. My M70 375 didn't like the A Frames at all. You're good either way.

I use these rounds for practice with my M70. Went through approx 200 rounds between my son and I last year before our hunt. Had one bad round that wouldn't chamber, otherwise they were fine for range use. Free shipping on case quantities...

That's a great broadhead and the most accurate fixed blade I've ever tried.

What a great American rifle. Everyone should own a M70 FWT 30-06.

They're incredibly fine timepieces. I love my Rolexes, but the understated seriousness and quality of the PO is tough to beat. Mine's been all over the world with me (a PO GMT model) numerous times and never missed a beat. It's my #1 suggestion when friends ask what they should buy for their...

I have no idea where the Milgauss market is at, but my local reseller DavidSW has a few in stock. I was just in there and noticed them. Check their website. They're never the cheapest, but they only deal in mint condition, box and papers authentic pieces. Excellent people to work with and no...

Great looking watch! LE Speedmasters are always interesting.

Yes, the AyA's are excellent shotguns, especially the No 2 sidelocks.

I use a soft take-down case only when the shotgun won't fit into my car's trunk full assembled. I agree that too much unnecessary assembly/disassembly increases the chances of damage to the gun. I've seen plenty of parts dropped and stocks dinged as guys fumble with assembly at the...

These are fantastic, proper classic SxS's. Truly handmade shotguns. New England Custom Gun still does great service work on them. 28ga is such a winner when it comes to upland hunting. They're just plain fun to shoot

Garmins rule when it comes to sports/athletic/training watches. Their solar polar watches continue to amaze me.

Those ads were the best.

Not now. Rolex have mandated a standardization in global pricing. You'll save VAT in Europe but there's no real savings on the watch itself. Best place I've found there is the Amsterdam Schiphol Airport Rolex shop. Lucked into a Day Date for my wife a few years back.

I wouldn't leave the camp in the morning without my ASC shooting sticks. Used them successfully on a couple US elk and antelope hunts also.

I really enjoy the photography side of my trips and like to have a proper camera with me. I use a Fuji XT2 (XT5 is the current version) which is a compact interchangeable lens mirrorless camera. The XT cameras and X series WR lenses that are weather-resistant and built for hard use (not...

There's nothing wrong with that picture!

Not that's it's ideal, but I've used them on game out to 400 yds and they've been great. It's all about practicing with them. It's good fun to run drills that progress out to 300-400, while adding some physical stress. Again, not ideal but shooting at distance makes the 100-250 yd shots feel...

They're excellent and a true pleasure to use-own. Buy a set, start practicing with them and don't look back. They develop a great patina over the years also. The ASC folks are great to work with.

Now that is impressive. Never knew they'd been produced.

All great choices, just depends what you want to spend. If you're going to lay down some serious money (north of $10K), look at Perazzi MX20's also. The entire gun will be made to your dimensions, choice of barrel length, stock finish, grade of wood, chokes etc. I'd say that and the K80/20...

You won't go wrong with a Beretta or a Browning. Try shooting them both and see which fits you best. You'll struggle if the dimensions are wrong.

That's a fine shotgun. Those British doubles are special things. That's a nice package with the included shells.

That's a fantastic piece, one of the best in the stainless professional range!

Yes, special cars are another market that can be challenging to navigate. Come down to FL to find one, they're all over the place down here.

Jomashop just posted a huge sale on Tudor if anyone is shopping the brand. Super aggressive prices.

I was in my local Orlando Rolex AD Sunday and had a wonderful experience. They happily cleaned and re-sized my wife's Datejust while we waited. Friendly, professional service and a great coffee. They also offered me the Sea Dweller 43 I had on my 3 watch wish list. (I've already found one so...

At this point in the thread(s), I just find them entertaining. You can spot their screed-like manifestos professing liberation from the shackles of time at least a mile away. Why they'd go so far out of their way to pee on other people's harmless parade is beyond me?

You're so right, LOL
