I bought: 1- dvd's 2- books 3- Snipe Pod 4- camo for a baby for my soon to arrive first grandson. 5- various backpacking equipment. Waterproof bags, the ultra lite bed, and a new Thermarest. 6- a gold and diamond elephant hair bracelet for Mary Lynn. 7- new cross bow I was looking for an ultra lite spotting scope with at least a 50 magnification. I was not able to find one. I am seriously thinking about the new 15 x Swarovski binocs . There was also a unique set of shooting sticks that I will be ordering . He would not take orders there which I thought was strange. | ||

Bought a Boyt canvas takedown case for my new Sabatti "trash" double rifle. Burris Fast Fire III for the above rifle. Looking HARD at becoming a Blaser "dark side" owner. I figure with a Sabatti and a Blaser should always be on the outside looking in with some here.  Larry Sellers SCI(International) Life Member Sabatti "trash" Shooter | |||

Larry, I had the 15x swarovski they are really heavy and I found on my last trip a lot of shoulder pain at the end of the day from wearing them all day long. I now have the 10x el's and I'm much happier. Thanks!

I tried mouthwash and soda, but have to admit it was not so good although my breath was nice. Mike | |||

Larry, these were the older slc model, the newer ones weight is greatly improved and wearing the new el's feel great in comparison but the 15's still feel a little heavy for me. I really wanted to get the 15s and buy the doubler for our deer hunts but I didn't want to carry all that weight across my shoulders. Thanks!

+1 to that. it is a very good 18 year old from George Moore Distillery IIRC and at about $35 is a real bargain. my problem is the local Costco supply is intermittent. Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… To quote a former AND CURRENT Trumpiteer - DUMP TRUMP | |||

Bought some bullets, Boyt Harness shirts, another concealed carry vest, and some nick nacks for the wife. Hunts were already booked but I did see some guns I'll have a hard time living without. Saw a couple of great shows as well. Best part of the show for me was visiting with my friends Jines, Shores, Fulson, and the CMS boys as well as finally meeting and spending time with a few new friends previously only known through AR or FaceBook, namely Bwana Bunduki (Jeff), Maximus Brutus (Mark), and Expressyourself (Shawn). | |||

Another set of custom plugs. And paid for Mozambique 2015, but that doesn't really count because I had already committed prior to the show. I bought a SnipePod in Dallas and am looking forward to seeing if it's practical. | |||

7 x 57 Mauser made in 1911. Looks just like the day it left the factory. No extra holes drilled anywhere. Double set trigger. Light handling marks on the wood. Light and slim.. Feels just like something else I once had when I was about age 16. You can borrow money but you can not borrow time. Go hunting with your family. | |||
