Thanks. I guess it was bound to happen and I finally had my turn. I'm usually pretty cautious and I did smell something "off" but didn't catch the photoshop job until a few days later. Now I've not heard a thing from Venmo, if they can even do anything about it. The question I keep asking is...
2 years ago I knew a shop that had two on the shelf, one in .243 and the other in .308. They wanted $1100 for each, even though they had been sitting there collecting dust for several years. Might still have the .308. They sold the .243 right before I left that area. Great rifles. Wish I...
Welp, after years and years of buying and selling online, I finally got scammed. Clever SOB too, as they put what appeared to be a sticky note with hand-written dates and email address in one of the photos of the scope. Pretty good photoshop job. But now I'm out $120 unless Venmo can recover...
Didn't read all the replies but I'm guessing you need to try different sabots because the combo you're using now is oversized for your bore. The right sabot/bullet combo will load easily, I promise. T/C's are notorious for tight bores. My CVA Optima bore measures at .502" and I use a...
For what ridiculous prices that most scopes are going for these days, this is a steal of a deal. VX-Freedom scopes are very good scopes that adopted all the VX-2 tech before them. You won't do better for $175 these days.

Back up. Sale didn't go through. I don't mind keeping the barrel and dies, but I have no practical use for the bullets.
Nambaster, the box of 15 has 120 grain CX bullets and the box of 72 has 143 grain ELD-X bullets.
Make me an offer.
Unless there are former directors of the premier wildlife conservation agency in the world on here, I am pretty confident with what I said. I've studied the "North American Model" since the 80's. Have you?
Predator threads on hunting forums are rife with misinformation. This one is no...
Nobody's opinion elevates them above others. Their education and experience does. Nobody here can match credentials with Ashe. Just because someone wants to limit hunting in one specific area doesn't make them anti-hunting. Even Aldo Leopold advocated for restrictions on hunting where they...
Lots of googling, cutting and pasting and you still didn't answer my question. Lots of money for CWD research. We all know that. My question was how much do you expect to be available for research specifically on the effect of limiting mountain lion hunting on CWD prevalence. My guess is...
Exactly how much $ do you think is available for research showing the effects of prohibitions on Mountain lion hunting on CWD prevalence? Surely not enough to draw definitive conclusions. But this is predators so of course there will be controversy. Everyone will point to the study that...
Dan Ashe is a smart guy. I know him personally. His intentions are good and he is a sportsman himself. If you have an issue with his position, it might be because you lack information or have a biased agenda. But it's probably not because he is poorly informed. He is a lifelong wildlife...
