Politics

The USA has labelled both Canada and the EU as threats to their "National Security" in order to justify new duties declared by their military Commander-in-Chief on the international trade of steel and aluminum. So I suggest that USA made products such as firearms and ammunition should be sold exclusively within the USA so Canada and Europe can help our esteemed neighbour defend themselves and improve their national security. Sadly, I have come to the conclusion that Canadians and Europeans...

A one gun to "do it all" Drilling!

I'm excited that this gun arrived in the mail today, back from some fine tuning by my gunsmith. After a quick range session it seems that it shoots as good as it looks. A Merkel 95S 12x12/9.3x74R fitted with a Krieghoff Semper insert barrel in .22 WMR, and with a Noblex 1-6x scope with illuminated dot #4 reticle in QD pivot mount.

NIB Swarovski Z5+ 2-10x42 BT Ballistic Turret - Plex Reticle

NIB, original owner (bought August this year from SportOptics) $1500, buyer pays shipping from Colorado.
Prefer CC. Great scope. Can either order a custom ballistic ring for specific load or use the colored rings for any load.
A plus for me, for bolt rifle mounting, the objective bell and ocular diameters are the smallest in 42mm (good for square bridge actions). I bought 3 of these, figure I got carried away:) thanks
