Yes they certainly are.

You can buy a Tikka T3 Hunter on a close out from Eurooptics in PA for $498. Tikka has replaced the T3 with the T3X. The T3 Forest is $598. They are both the Walnut blue variant, the Forest has the Monte Carlo cheek pad. This is a $200 savings from their normal price. About $250 lower than MSRP...

Now that makes sense. Thank you.

Long gun transfer Question on the subject, I understand that interstate transfer requires the ffl involvement. Does it require it on both ends? Or can I, the seller,ship the gun to an ffl in the buyers state if I have received and have on file a copy of ffl's licence for my record to prove that...

Rings I guess a better question would be what to stay away from. I guess the answer is windage adjustable. What I'm considering is a good quality detachable system so I can have a second scope zeroed in ready to attach in the event I take a digger while hunting or bang the gun hard enough to...

What is your go to base/ring set up when your mounting a scope. A scope mounting system that hold zero is more important to me than a setup that looks good. I like the look of the Redfield/Leupold system but if the Dual Dovetail is recommended for the heavier calibers than how solid is it...

Good to hear Good to hear the enthusiasm for anything Mirou. I have a few A-bolts and have been criticized for buying a Japanese rifle. Some people are so blinded by prejudice they can't see the quality.

About the box Iv'e seen empty boxes being sold. I've often wondered why the box is so important if the gun has been fired. I guess it makes sense for a new firearm. I mean, if it's in the box it just can't be any newer than that right? Has the ser# always been on the box? When a gun is being...

Not so lucky Lucky to get the gun, but no luck on the box. I'm always surprised to hear people say, nope on the box and papers, The gun has been fired nut doesn't appear to have been hunted with. It's in beautiful condition. I paid $500 for it. Not a big margin but I can't really loose on that...

Not fair! There wasn't one question about any of my guns and I still got most of them right!

I just made a purchase in a private sale of a Model 700 Classic LE in 7x57 Mauser. I"m sure you know that this was made in 1981 as the first Limited Edition of the Classic, where they made only one caliber per year in the "classic" chamberings. I believe there was only 2018 of these made and...

Newbie from NH Hello, I have been a gun enthusiast since my father helped me shoulder a Stevens crack shot when I was about 5 yrs old. I have hunted all my life and always loved the shooting sports from plinking to skeet shooting to target shooting off the bench. I have been reloading for about...
