  1. I’m disappointed in him.
  2. Nothing like that. My father was a PH for a short time. He got me into collecting dangerous game rifles. They are most definitely an acquired taste.
  3. I find that to be an interesting observation. Until you mentioned it I had never gave it much thought. But, I can see your point. If I’m speculating, and I was a guest, I think I would appreciate the fact that you researched it. I would also add how the question was asked would be a component. I can see the host wanting to give the guest something in their wheelhouse, without sounding patronizing.
  4. I appreciate it, but I’m wanting something from post 2010. From what I’m reading that is when they introduced the Safari Express (prior to that date I believe they were called super express). The newer models are controlled feed, have the matte black finish, and the front swivel is on the barrel not the stock. It also has the shorter barrel. Which makes carrying it easier than the Alaskan that I currently have. Again, thanks for the heads up.
  5. I have been trying to find a Winchester Safari Express in .375 H&H. I have read they are still in production, but no one actually has one in stock. Anyone have any insight on what is going on?
  6. Please expand on that. Are you saying they are the same?
  7. That’s what makes special forces so badass. We got the best flashlights….
  8. The triggers are other worldly good. How the hell such an affordable pistol can have such a trigger blows my mind. I very much want one so I can disassemble it and see how they work.
  9. A turnover here would be fun..
  10. They sure are playing tight.
  11. He is a strange guy. The preseason bravado, the look at me shit. He had to know that the NFL is fully of fast, strong, great players. I mean he can’t be that naive? His lack of maturity is on full display when he gets frustrated

    Thanks!
  13. That PA sounds like it is from a 1970’s high school auditorium.

    What’s the initial investment to purchase everything needed to print something in the 4”x5” size? Not looking for specifics, just a general idea what type of financial commitment it takes to produce small items. Over/inder $5k
  15. Damn you guys are hitting on all cylinders!
  16. I was probably about 30 years old at the time. And for reasons I can’t explain It was one of those times in life where something disappoints you to such a degree it sort of numbs you. Only later do you go through the “I should have said” exercise. It floored me that she pulled that shit. I was the only nephew he had. And we were great friends as well. She would pass a few years later and I have no idea what came of the watch. I did get some of his war memorabilia, and his war time bible. Which I hold in high regard. But, I would be lying if I didn’t admit I wanted that watch more than anything.

    I don’t know anything about this tech. Is there a commercial possibility for these machines? Or are they only intended for the hobbyist?
  18. Some serious trolling taking place on this thread.
  19. I understand. I was just enjoying the conversation. No disrespect intended.
  20. He wants to go back to the hotel.
  21. I’m not saying you’re wrong, only it’s more nuanced. Railroad employees still fall under RRTA’s 30/60 rule. States like Georgia also provide retirement packages for all state employees. They even have provisions to “buy” a year or two to get out early. The same applies to Civil Service employees under their CSRS plan. Add in Management positions within certain companies that are continuing to offer pension plans. Though all companies are different in how they determine whether or not one’s compensation package will include pension monies. And all boomers didn’t walk away with a pension. In fact if you dig into the numbers it’s actually pretty sad how many of my generations rank and file have nothing but SS to help to them through their remaining years.
  22. I was supposed to inherit one of these from my uncle. This is a pre Tag model Heuer. I remember my uncle keeping time on soccer matches with one of these while I was still in school in Germany in the mid 60’s. Fell in love with it the minute I saw it. Drunk ass aunt sent me a fucking Seiko when he passed. I was going to just go out and buy one for myself, but passed when I saw what they go for.
