  1. No sensible* offer refused. *I'm incredibly flexible.....
  2. Edited for price revision.
  3. I have a spare 4-Patriots 1800w solar generator. Bought it a couple of years ago & I've honestly never used it. Brand new retail is $2500. Mine is new with no box & for the life of me, i can't find the instructions. $1500 obo. https://4patriots.com/products/patriot-power-generator-1800
  4. 'How to be a drug/arms dealer' Chapter 1:
  5. From that picture? It could be literally anything, although my money would be on Iver Johnson. What are you offering in trade for it?
  6. I've got 2 a T3x Lite in .30-06 & a T3 Superlight Hunter in 6.5x55. I honestly believe they're the best rifle you can possibly buy, under a grand. The action is like oiled glass, the trigger is spectacular & you will not find a more accurate, out of the box rifle anywhere. With the advent of prefit barrels, they're a brilliant base action for a custom build, although aftermarket stock makers are lagging behind. I think a lot of folks are maybe a bit offput by them being a 'budget' gun, being that they're Sako's cheaper option, but they're every bit as good a a model 85.
  7. Does anyone have an older dual sport bike, kicking around in a shed that they'll never ride again? I don't really have a preference, other than I'm needing something 350 or bigger. I'm looking for something road legal, or easily made that way. Relatively tidy condition & superficially all there. I would prefer a less road orientated model ( DR, XT, XL etc) over a touring bike with knobblies. The hard part is, I'm trying to do this under $1500
  8. I've had 2 that had to go back for accuracy issues, ie; neither would shoot better than 3" The third was Hunter model that the magazine wouldn't take 3 rounds. The replacement was binding on the bolt & the replacement for that wouldn't seat in the magwell. I'd heard 50/50 reports when i bought my first & I wish I'd learned my lesson after that one.
  9. Good luck, hope you've got customer service on speed-dial
  10. I'm looking for either a T3/T3x or Rem700 (or clone. Bergara etc...) Either a bare, short action; barreled action or complete rifle in .243/6.5CM/.7-08 or .308 for a project base. I know I'm shooting for the moon, in a headwind, with a BB gun, but i need to stay under $500 if possible. Rusty, bent, broken & mostly useless are not insurmountable hurdles for me. It's going to be rebarreled & restocked & heavily gone over anyway.
  11. Emilio Rizzini O/U 12ga when i was 16. I couldn't tell you what model it was & it was completely illegal for me to own (I kept it in a friend's safe along with his shotgun, since he had a license & very friendly parents) but I do remember giving the princely sum of £150 for it. I shoot an awful lot of rabbits, pheasant & wood pigeons with that thing.
  12. Brother, you ain't kidding!
  13. I spent all weekend, Thursday afternoon thru Sunday morning hunting some of the most pristine,beautiful, well managed & maintained hunting property in Bledsoe Co. The owner (a very good friend) has a a spectacularly well managed herd, very selectively harvested. I sat dark-dark Friday & Saturday, plus Thursday afternoon 1-5 & Sunday 5-11. Didn't see a Gee Dee thing. I got back to Tullahoma at 2, yesterday afternoon & figured i had time to put in a quick 90 minutes at a little craphole spot i have permission on. Filed the freezer with a limit of Does in 15 minutes, surrounded by old, burnt out fridges & trash. Go figure!
  14. Post 2003. That's when the round-back action, rounded bolt shroud & Accutrigger were first introduced.
  15. Nope. It's no less safe than any of the other striker fired pistols. Probably safer, since it's essentially a DA only gun.
  16. Yeah, in your situation i would 100% go another way. Honestly, as vanilla as it is, a .30-06 will do all of that. .300WM/WSM the same but a bit quicker. Here's an incomplete list of chamberings that'll do everything you need without killing your barrel in a year (deep breath......) .270 (wsm/rsaum), .280, .280AI, 6.8 Western, 7-08, 7 mag (wsm/rsaum), .30-06, .300 mag (wsm/rsaum) 6CM, 6.5CM () .260, 6.5X55, .284, 7X57.......etc. Pick the right bullet & they'll all work admirably.
  17. Couple of quick questions? What do you consider long range? And if it's purely for target knocking & you'll be dialing anyway, why go for such a fast chambering? It does nothing the Creedmore () doesn't, at the added expense of quicker throat erosion.
  18. Kinda fishing right now, waiting to see if a rifle deal comes off...... I need 50 rounds of pretty much anything i can shoot to fireform. I'll be reloading it, but i only have neck sizing gear suitable
  19. 5.56/.223 with a GOOD bullet is exceptionally good for deer. I'd be looking for a Ruger American in .223 (or an AR) & load it up with 77gn Sierra tipped Matchkings. 65gn Gamekings if you can't find TMKs.
  20. Pm sent for 3lb...
  21. Aaaaand that's why i carry a .44 on my hip.
  22. She's a beauty, no doubt. Unfortunately it's got about a grand's worth of gear that i don't want with it!
