Specific to @Wheels example, I believe Poland has an additional excise tax on imported vehicles. Ranging from 3%-18%, small car vs truck. That would be additional to the fees above. Marginal at 3%, but substantial at 18%. I don't believe Poland is known for their Truck manufacturing, but...

I don't disagree with that at all. I can only speak for myself and if I were ever introduced into a situation where more is at stake than my self Interests, upto and including national security issues, I would have opt for a different position than what was taken. A collective good is...

Not sure how close you are, but I would check with Hyatt's in Charlotte.

I think that's the measure of the man one chooses to be. Some would say, "post it", "Freedom of the press". Others would simply acknowledge the mistake (if truly a mistake and not nefarious in nature) and understand its magnitude and not propel it further. No shortage of 'Gotcha'...

He asked to be removed after receiving the messages, reading them, screen shotting or copying them, discussing the issue with colleagues, and then made it known? Very poor on his part as well as the entire team. Both parties failed at being due diligent with national interests at stake. Both...

I'm equally bothered as to why this journalist didn't make it known to the group that he was included obviously in error at the start. I can't count the times I've been added to the wrong email chain and I find my name which is already a bit rarer, but I always make it known to the sender to...

Just read about that. 2700 fps with a 270gr out of a 17.5" barrel. That's impressive. Will be curious to see where you end up with your loadings.

Welcome aboard! Another resident from Northern IL here.

My nephews who are older than my kids have begun asking my father for some stories. He has a plethora of funny stories from his tours he likes to tell. I do hope he continues to open up to us and maybe tell more mature more stories to my brother and I first. My grandfather who was a WWII...

Thank you @Hunter-Habib for your kind words and post. I highlighted your last sentence as it should be reread by all. Boys and girls need a good father as much as a nurturing mother. Mine became the better father in my later years with no doubt due to what he witnessed and did for his...

I certainly will. Thank you for the kind words.

Thank you. Certainly lots of pride in our family and happy to share one of his stories. His silver star was awarded from his efforts during Lang Vei and the march to Khe Sanh with the Laotians and Montagnards after he was hit while on a bunker with a Katyusha rocket. Blew him off the bunker...

I've written here that my hunting partner for my Africa hunts is my father. He always dreamed of going to Africa and spoke of it highly in my youth and I was ecstatic to take him these past 3 trips. I'm 38 now and planning our 4th trip over now. I've always know my father is a Vietnam...

Pretty sure @edward can give some tips. He's taken a few big and nasties with his handguns. @terry weick best of luck and do let us know how the hunt goes. Vast majority here love reading tales such as the one you are hopefully about to embark on.

I expect a small amount of malicious compliance at play, but overall some AI being used to auto remove a keyword database as well as a larger project that is doing a larger reorganization project. Sec Hegseth has been very open to the press about other aspects and entries that were removed and...

Great clip for all to listen to or watch.

Well, I'm going to start calling this my Whale rifle then over elephant gun. Although, my buddies may think it means something totally different...

I work in China periodically pre and post Covid for some 15 years now in the factory cities....not the "show the westerners these pretty sites" cities. There is some truth to this statement, but "policies moving in the right direction" in China is actually laughable. The Chinese government...

If we didn't know it was AI one would think that could be a @One Day... post. Pretty thorough and well stated.

I'm also surprised by this. I'd also be concerned for any debris to fall into the chamber and get lodged in the barrel, interfere with the floor plate, etc. Not probable, but I'd guess possible. No doubt solvable by a quick visual check....but then again I've seen a few outfitters that...

Been circling SM over the last 24 hours at least. Being third person, it can also be reasonably assumed to be written by another, or at least enough call to take a few seconds to verify. It does however articulate well enough how this deal would have been the first step to peace and security...

You do know that was written by someone else yesterday and Trump is resharing it, don't you?

One more mention for stock fit and design. At 6'4" I crammed my head down to more rifles than I can remember to shoot and just deal with it. Then I began to get sticks with the appropriate LOP I needed and made an incredible difference. Then, I purchased an A2 Hannibal with a massive buttpad...

And no shortage of lies or 'mistruths' to the public. WMDs.... ;)

I think you misunderstand. Reciprocal escalation would have similar effects albeit our industry military complex would welcome it. The comparison is to show that there are many people and company's that instigate actions that walk back on previous agreements. It's a new era...but the same...

Interesting CNN w/ Scott Jennings view of what could/should have happened.

Perfectly articulated @ActionBob ! I try to look at this situation from a pragmatic business approach as is my style to remove emotion (which is near impossible) but far too many (here included) assume you to be either a Putin crony or war hawk. Very little middle ground to get goals accomplished.

There won't be an end to the war without communication with Putin. General Kellog said it best, "all wars end with negotiation".

It was growing before the war, with arcayic equipment and resources. Since 2022, it's largely been subsidized with US funds to keep it going. My point is with additional US investment with new machinery, technology, and infrastructure, it could be much more times presperous and profitable...

Ballistically it would be a great DG round in the right rifle. I have had more failures in remington 700s over the years when PG hunting and hunting stateside that I personally wouldn't hunt DG with one. My personal opinion thoughnI admit likely due to me not paying closer attention to critical...

And a great next step would have been this deal solidifying US interests both economically and militarily being the minerals are militarily stategic, to aid in prevention of a Russian Eurasian objective. I fully expect it to still happen, regardless of Zelenskys multiple attempts to amend it...

Not sure if there was an actual question there. That said, if one cannot look at both sides and understand the opposition, no positive outcome is possible. Putin doesn't want Nato encroachment. The US wouldn't want Russian, Chinese, or Iran encroachment in Mexico. Can you imagine a Cuban...

I generally agree with this with exception to your last sentence. With going back to 1991, there have been indirect aggressions that cannot be overlooked. Countries added to Nato 99- Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland 04- Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Bulgaria,Slovakia Missiles in Poland...

My grandfather was a US Marine POW in WWII for 3.5 years. Taken in the Phillipines and freedom after VJ. He depised the Jananese....refused any in his family ro purchase a Japanese car, buy Japanese, and refused a trip by their government in the 90s. I say this, because Japan is a great ally...

I'm no political strategist. However, as some want to ridicule Trump and Vance, I believe Putin prefers Zelenskys ego to stay strong as he at least is smart enough to not test Trump's when it's in his favor. Putins demands will wait and/or be tailored to the mistakes he sees Zelensky make.

This is the same thinking of Zelensky. What does Ukraine get? Peace US personal and companies on the ground that Trump will fiercely protect and Putin knows this. Technology and infrastructure investment to move materials. All of which the Ukrainian government and civilian companies have...

I think so many are only looking at this from their perspectives. Try some of us in the US... Were tired of wars. I'm 38 and 20 years of my life the US was at war. I'm tired of spending trillions of dollars (yes, TRILLIONS) of US dollars on foreign wars, sending 10s of thousands to their...

I expect this type of negotiation has happened countless times behind closed doors over the last few centuries, just being public now is what dismays so many. I for one was interested to see it unfold. Truly no different than contentious business deals, albeit millions of lives on the line...

I just looked back at my 3 trips over. 1 shirt has lasted all 3 hunts and made it into a trophy pic at least once. Redhead ripstop shirt in OD green from Bass Pro. $17 on sale right now. Same exact shirt in all 3 below. 2016, 2018, 2023.

Thinking of you and your pup. The unconditional love between man and dog is something words simply can't describe. Praying he keeps making improvements.

Ruger is SPF Thanks all!

Welcome Rich! I'm in the northern part (Mchenry Cnty) of our gloriously restrictive state :LOL:. Glad to have you on board and do hope you get a trip planned soon!

Greetings all. Was not intending to sell this one, but I have finally ordered a Blaser R8 (@BeeMaa would be proud ;)) and need to help offset it. Ruger Redhawk 44 magnum with 7.5" barrel, stainless. I purchased this from the original owner who bought it new from Gander Mountain in the 90s...

A truly incredible hunt and experience. I still remember so vividly the feeling when those sticks went up and realizing you were literally within the herd. The Save is special and Wayne makes for a hunt of a lifetime. A fantastic hunt and offer!

Wouldn't that be something to add to a hunt. Hearing a PH say "Fix bayonets"...certainly would be a story at least. Reminds me of my father telling us one of his stories where he was given the command to fix bayonets in his first tour in Vietnam. Oh the feeling hearing those two words can...

This is the appointment I was looking for. If you haven't followed Kash's story, please do so. He has exposed more of the corruption in our justice system than any in the last few decades and the DOJ surveiled him and tried to shut him up. He will leave no stone unturned. Any GOP senator...

Holsters are SPF. Thanks!

Clearing out some stuff. 2 Galco King Tuk holsters for a Springfield Xd and Xdm 9/40/45. Galco fit # 440. Used very little but has wear, one still has one tag intact. Would love to sell and ship both together for $40 delivered. Thanks!
