    Anyone had a firearm shipped to US from UK?

    I haven't but I would suggest you contact one of the sites you found. They may have a list of shops with an import license that would handle it for you - for a price. It would seem that you could not come out any cheaper than finding one here.

    Anybody Else Hunt with the Same Rifle for Half a Century ?

    I can only go back 34 years to 1988 when I bought a 1952 vintage Remington 721 in 300 H&H. I have replaced the stock and the gunsmith offered to rechamber to 300 Weatherby and I said no way! I have taken a couple of dozen white tails with it since then.

    I have an FFII 3x9 Ballistic plex Duplex on each of my boys 7mm-08 rifles. One on an AR, and a couple 4.5-14's with the E1 Reticle on 2 of my rimfire rifles. I have had no issues with them and would recommend them but I would start a new shooter with a straight duplex or the cleaner...

    Anybody else have praise for the evet so sweet 6.5 x 55 Swede?

    I have a soft spot for Mausers. I like old stuff that can get more potential with hand loading - 7x57, 8x57, 9.3x57, and the more modern 6mm Rem which I have in Mauser actioned rifles. I have always been intriged by the 6.5x55 (and x57) and the 257 Roberts and have no room for, but would...

    200 grain Ballistic tips, Combined Technology ballistic tips, Accubonds, or 210 partitions. The CT ballistic tips and nickel plated brass look just awesome!

    Do you own a scout rifle? Is it worth getting one?

    No, and no. I can't get past the scope mounted on the barrel.

    A little reminder of where to look for ammo.

    Walmart, Kmart, Otasco usually had Sunday ads for 22 ammo. Usually about $0.99/50 but went with the cheapest regardless of brand. Sent my dad after it.
