Flyer Beware! Gun Case Sabotage (?) on ATL to CPT flight

Just a heads up. When my Pelican case arrived at CPT from my July 4 flight from ATL all four latches were unlatched, which has never happened in over 15 international trips, and the case was held shut just by the four padlocks through the lock holes. I assumed unusually rough handling. I opened the case at the firearms counter and felt dampness on the inside foam and suspected some condensation must have occurred on the flight over. But didn't fret over it. Later upon closer inspection...

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...

.425WR - Thoughts

Hello from the UK

Made you look..

Greetings everyone, my name is Brock. I currently live in the UK, but I am heading to Montana soon where I will send the next few years. I have goals of hunting game across Africa when I retire in a few years. I look forward to learning from you all and maybe scooping up some deals. Below is me holding a 700 Nitro from my trip to Holland & Holland. On this same day I also visited Purdey and Rigby.

Ruger African 270 Win. Range Report

A quick range report for my new Ruger African 270.

First, 99% of my rifles have free floating barrels, and this new Ruger does not. It has pressure on the bottom of the barrel near the end of the forestock and touches slightly on the sides nearer the chamber. I know that many Rugers are supposed to be like this, but as a free floating man, it seems foreign to me.

However, since this gun came that way from the factory and since it is the way many folks keep their Rugers, I thought...
