Re: 50 BMG

Are you thinking Vulcan? If it is, a quick Google search will bring up many reports of poor quality and kabooms. I don't have experience with them, just read many reviews on the interwebs. They've changed names a few times; Hesse; Vulcan; Blackthorne and maybe more. If you are serious about the big ...

Re: Hi Power restoration

Why does an item loose value or historical importance if it's restored? It is somehow not from the WWII era now, or is it now a different model or brand? Nope. It's still the same age, make, model, caliber, and now looks better. If restoring things to as close to original, ruins it's value, then the...

Re: Big trouble with the Precision Delta group buy

I was talking to a friend about this over the weekend. He is in the retail business and had an idea as to the mysteriously lost order from GB1. Reading Jim's post he stated that PD "should call him before charging his account so he could raise his daily limit" for the purchase. This statem...

Re: Big trouble with the Precision Delta group buy

Can't we go to small claims court as an option as well? Although for my lost $372 I'm not sure it's worth the effort - except for the principle of the matter. While I am deeply aggravated, I don't think this will solve anything. Myself, I'm out $279, and the cost for me to take off work, travel, an...

Re: Big trouble with the Precision Delta group buy

Sorry to disagree with you Oldman, but Jim has done nothing up to this point to deserve sympathy from me. IF , however, Jim would have been an upstanding guy, stuck between a rock and a hard spot, came clean the moment he knew the hammer was coming down, I would probably have GIVEN him money to help...

Re: Big trouble with the Precision Delta group buy

Hmmmm.......... I happened across SS's initial post almost the minute it was posted. I have written and rewritten, walked away, rewritten again, my response. I just don't know how to respond to this kindly, as SS has, so I'll keep most of it off the board. I joined in to help Jim out when others had...

Re: Precision Delta First Group Buy

I sent Bigdog a text message yesterday and he told me PD is contacting him this week with an update. I also feel that if they do not provide a concrete timeline then the next move should be to cancel the order. They had their chance, they screwed up and if they can't or are unwilling to fix it quic...

Precision Delta First Group Buy

Not sure if this is the right place to put this topic. I am wondering the status of the FGB. It's been 43 weeks since the order was placed, and they quoted BigDog58 18 weeks. The last update I recall seeing from BigDog58 was around Thanksgiving with only a partial order. I was talking with a co-work...

Re: Re: What'd you take deer hunting this year?

My Great Grandpa's Remington Woodsmaster. I think it's the 742 30-06. Was wanting to use my dad's 25-06 but we didn't get a chance to sight it in :( . BTW Deer are basically extinct in Itasca State Park ;) I hunt about 10mi west of Itasca, and it was bleak. I only saw 2 doe and 2 yearlings on the f...

Re: Re: Bolt Gun Explodes at Gun Range

I got some 44 Automag cases that say 308 Norma, and some 440 Corbon Magnum cases that say 50AE on them... :D I don't know squat about the 44 automag. Does it run a belted case, or are the belts turned down? 308 Norma Mag is a belted case. If they run belted cases that's unique, and I'd have to see ...

Re: Re: Bolt Gun Explodes at Gun Range

And a later comment about ammo matching gun is stupid also. If you reload properly, you have the option of resizing cases to fit other guns, like sizing down 30-06 to fit 25-06, or 308 down to 7mm-08 or 260 or 243, or 8mmRemMag down to 7mmSTW, or other examples based on a 300H&H case to make wi...

Re: What to do this winter.....

The way it looks now I'll be in Colorado from Jan 1 through April 30. Hoping to get a day or two of skiing, but it looks like I'll be working 12 hrs a day for 6 or 7 days a week. I was hoping to finish the shop and get it heated and air conditioned. If I was here at home I'd be ice fishing as much a...

Re: Target shooting during archery season

The only restriction is the preceding week to firearms opener. I don't remember if it only applies to license holders or not though.

Re: Taurus Model 66?

I'd save and get the Smith. If you compromise and get the Taurus, its just that much saving again to get the smith in your safe if your still not happy. Either way, I'd try and get my hands on both models to compare them, and see if the Taurus will satisfy your desires. While you save more, you may ...
