I've bought several guns from Bass Pro over the last couple of years. There's sooo much that's great about it.

1) Great selection of used guns.
2) Prices generally on the high end of fair, occasionally a bargain.
3) Seamless shipping nationwide with no shipping charges and no FFL fees.
4) Seamless FFL, no jockeying around to get everybody to send their FFL etc.
5) Accountability of a large company -- when I ordered my Rigby PH it disappeared from Fed Ex for over a week. They offered to...

As much as I love shooting and hunting with the 22LR, it seems like the newer 17's are so much easier to squeeze accuracy from. I've owned several very nice Kimber, Anschutz, and Volquartzen rimfires, but even the inexpensive Savage and CZ rifles with decent 17 cal ammo seem to be more accurate.

Bullet design and quality is likely the main contributing factor in accuracy of rimfires. The 17 cal bullets are more like a jacketed center-fire bullet, where the , 22LR and 22Mag are less...

The cheekpiece and monte carlo comb have been successfully amputated.



Wrist / grip still needs to go on a diet.

I'm now turning my mind to the forend.

I'd appreciate anyone who is able, to take and share the measurement (A) from your Lee...

Its that time of year again! For the 6th year in a row, my wife and I will be hosting the @Bos en Dal SAFARIS party in the Dallas area, on the night of January 9th (Saturday) during TTHA.

For those unfamiliar with the party, the first year was done in a hotel hospitality room during DSC 2022. We then brought into our home for the next 4 years and its grown to a pretty big event with roughly 60 people showing up the last few years (mostly AH members).

Every year has been a pretty big...
