Larry Potterfield could buy it and then he could have one more item in his catalog that would always be out of stock. Smiler

When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.

It's the get rich quick folks that make me suspicious. Most people here are actually doing the opposite and urging caution. Nobody is saying you will get rich making custom bottom metal. It's a pretty niche market as I see it.


Funny..I was not referring to the legiitimate commentators, only the ones from the wannabee and we know who he is.


Damn, I think he deleted his post, I wonder why, it was so informative.

At what age would you like to retire? My dad has been in this business for 56 years. We have had our ups and downs but what business has not. My dad is going to be 81 this year and would just like to retire.

Imp,

You would do all right.

Remember the secret to success in this business: Behind every successful man running a gunshop is a wife with a good job in town.

Thanks Dave, I appreciate The vote of confidence. Still willing to part with that Titanium? I am getting ready to start another action for myself so I have something to worry about other than the changes in my life. Could also use some intelligent discussion about lock time as related to modern bolt actions.

Many(most?) of us have rifles with parts that were made by your father. His stuff has always been top quality. The biggest complaint anyone had was that they could not buy more.

I wish your father the best in his retirement.

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.
