Also, doesn't Cabelas have a really good return policy? I.E. you could order the whole catelog and send the ones you don't like back.

P.S. Did the hate thread finally implode?

i think zed got sick of posting in it

You know you went to far when even Tungsten thinks your a Jack Ass.

Usually each order comes with a pre-printed return slip so you can send back items. I've never used the return slip so I am not sure of the procedure - and I have ordered many times from Cabelas.

Like to have a place with a view like that out back.

Freedom of contract. We sell them guns that kill them; they sell us drugs that kill us.

Not sure truthfully , this was 30+ yrs back , there was several versions similar to the ones you posted .The barrels where plated as well as many other parts , not sure if it was brass or gold plating though .

I spent a good hour on the phone with Miramachi this afternoon, going through the steps to get an unknown gun registered. I was going through a box of jackets that my father had put aside for me before he passed, and to my surprise it contained more than just jackets; inside I also found a Traditions Trapper .50cal black powder percussion pistol. So, they walked me through going online and requesting a registration, so now it is hurry up and wait.

That's pretty slick!

Took a vendor to the range today, I also hunt with the guy. It was good to shoot with him, plus a great way to spend a rainy Tuesday afternoon. We had dueling Glocks, lots of rifles, my Dan Wesson went through 100 rounds, my Ruger Hunter was smoking, and all in all just a good dose of gun powder aromatherapy.

I've been trying various loads for my new Steyr .270 and I think I have the clear winner thus far. I sight most my rifles at 1" to 2" high at 100 yards, depending on the BDC holdover for 200 yards. Below is a 4 shot group at 100 yards and yes, I did put 1 round right through the other.

Since March 2015 that I started to look for rings and a pistol scope for one of my Dan Wesson revolvers. I managed to trade some rings for a 2" shroud with a fellow DW shooter in the States, bought a pistol scope off eBay that was DOA but I managed to get warrantied from Swift. That process took about 4 months total as I have to use a legal importer for scopes out of the USA even though it was a warranty item as the ITAR laws are convoluted to say the least.

Anyways, I just mounted up the scope complete with the sun shade - that required me to take off the front sight blade.

I'm not sure what the brand of the rings are, the scope is a Swift SRP6266M 2-6 x32mm that cost me $10 to replace and has a lifetime warranty. Swift Premier Pistol Scopes

Looking forward to sighting it in.

Had a similar setup on a S[HTML_REMOVED]W model 29 44 mag that I shot Metallic silhouette with really fun kind of shooting.

The raw, primitive, unrefined trails that see little to no maintenance are the kinds of trails that really build skill. What kind of skills do you learn riding a trail that was made by a machine, groomed to perfection and void of any rocks, roots or other obstacles that could send you careening over the handlebars?

This past week, a Milwaukee toddler fatally shot his mother after finding a handgun in the back seat of the car they were riding in. The case drew a lot of national attention given the unusual circumstances: Little kids rarely kill people, intentionally or not.

But this type of thing happens more often than you might think. Since April 20, there have been at least seven instances in which a 1- , 2- or 3-year-old shot themselves or somebody else in the United States:

On April 20, a 2-year-old boy in Indiana found the gun his mother left in her purse on the kitchen counter and fatally shot himself.
The next day in Kansas City, Mo., a 1-year-old girl evidently shot and killed herself with her father's gun while he was sleeping.
On April 22, a 3-year-old in Natchitoches, La., fatally shot himself after getting hold of a gun.
On April 26, a 3-year-old boy in Dallas, Ga., fatally shot himself in the chest with a gun he found at home.
On April 27, the Milwaukee toddler fatally shot his mother in the car.
That same day, a 3-year-old boy in Grout Township, Mich., shot himself in the arm with a gun he found at home. He is expected to survive.
On April 29, a 3-year-old girl shot herself in the arm after grabbing a gun in a parked car in Augusta, Ga. She is also expected to survive.

I feel sad when I read stats like that, because they are preventable through simple education.

What really frustrates me and makes me sad is all the other preventable deaths.

Thousands die per day simply because they don't know how to eat properly and lack self control. Intentionally or not, they are also passing on deadly traits to their childen who are statistically most likely to die by their own fork.

Number of deaths for leading causes of death in 2013 (Centre for Disease Control):
Heart disease: 614,348 (1706.5 Per Day)
Cancer: 591,699 (1643.6 Per Day)
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 147,101 (408.6 Per Day)
Accidents (unintentional injuries): 136,053 (377.9 Per Day)
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 133,103 (369.7 Per Day
Alzheimer's disease: 93,541 (259.8 Per Day)
Diabetes: 76,488 (212.4 Per Day)
Influenza and Pneumonia: 55,227 (153.4 Per Day)
Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and nephrosis: 48,146 (133.7 Per Day)
Intentional self-harm (suicide): 42,773 (118.7 Per Day)

Maybe you should start a new thread if you get off on posting shit like that though.

^ I have heard nothing but good things about the CZ Shadows. I'm not into 9mm or semis, but if I was, I'm pretty sure I'd be running a CZ. Plus I already have a CZ rifle affection going on. ;)
