  1. Awesome! Was this self supported hunt? I've been looking at getting a guide hunt in NM or AZ maybe next year with the intent of gaining enough knowledge to go alone or with my boys when they get bigger
  2. Ahh terribly sad, a true legend
  3. I actually think its an ultralight not an Accumark, that was my mistake. My uncle purchased it and quoted the $2499 new price. I agree with all the other statements and appreciate your input
  4. Yeah, they told me the biggest issue is moisture and you can co trail that with a dehumidifier. I was the same as you in thinking that it should go inside. I’m not worried about theft as much as child safety and general nosy guest safety. If someone wants something they’ll likely get it if they have enough time. Adding a switch to the hole alarm is a cool thought I may do. Bolting them down is the biggest theft deterrent as event the less expensive safes need to be laid down for easiest access. We could put it in the master closet but would have to remove some custom shelving and not sure that’s what I want to do. I have an office that I’m really leaning towards as a likely indoor location. I want it indoors mainly because I’m a pussy and don’t want to sweat while fondling my guns daily
  5. Probably be 950# ish. I’d pay the company to deliver but do you think it would risk damaging the stair treads?
  6. So I’m looking to purchase a gun safe and need some opinions. The Safehouse in Knoxville recommendation was to put the safe in the garage and bolt to concrete. They said that safes inside a home are often total losses in a catastrophic fire. Placing the safe in a garage gives the safes fire rating a fighting chance at saving your contents. That’s all well and good, but I hate the idea of going out in the garage to access guns or valuables. the house is two story on a crawl space. The downstairs is all 4” red oak hardwood floors as is the common areas upstairs, and the upstairs bedrooms are carpet. I have various location both downstairs and upstairs to place the safe. On the carpet I’d lag it down no problem but what do folks do on hardwood? tl;dr - does anyone put safe on hardwood floor and if yes, do you bolt it down? If no, are the options to keep from tipping over. Kids safety is the main issue for purchase to begin with
  7. It’s a sign of the current state of the market. Huge demand low supply. Manufacturers learned in 2012 they don’t have Toni crease capacity as the demand will level off eventually. Prior to Covid and election year the firearms and ammunition market was pretty soft.
  8. FYI, It appears that only the version with CR123A batteries is 26% off. With final shipped price of $61.13. The rechargeable version shows $90ish at checkout.
  9. That's my fear as well. If you're not shooting long range or elk, or elk at long range most don't want that beast of a caliber
  10. Thanks for the input, I agree. I’m finding the same thing looking around. Yeah, sad part is I think he paid almost $900 for the scope new
  11. That's certainly a good option and I will check. I'm not sure. I've been looking at Armslist nationwide and it seems these guns are being listed for less than they are asking.
  12. Short backstory, my cousin passed away last year of colon cancer at the age of 45. He left behind a wife and two young daughters. He was an avid hunter and his father was able to sell most of the guns he had with the exception of this one. I assume due to its high value most locals looking at adds in the bulletin board just aren't looking for this quality and expense. So my question is, where would you all expect it to sell price wise. I'm thinking about purchasing the gun myself to then resell. This would get the money to his wife and kids that need it most and then I could resell and not be in a rush. But I can't really afford to take a big loss, so opinions of price and how easily you think it would sell here on the board. This gun has only been fired to sight in scope and shoot one antelope. Less than 10 rounds total fired. Main questions are 1) separate scope and gun for easier sale? 2) is price too high, if so what's reasonable ask? They're asking $2,500 obo Weatherby Mark V - Ultralight 26" 300 Wby Magnum, stainless fluted barrel - New Price $2,500 Leupold VX-3 4.5-14x50 - New Price $875, discontinued available on amazon for $480 Share thoughts please
  13. For the second year in a row I’ve been fortunate enough to participate in the Shooting Hunger sporting clays charity shoot at Nashville Gun Club representing the Tennessee Dept of Agriculture. This year our team came in 2nd. Pretty cool for a bunch of hacks. It’s so much fun and a great time every year and the best part is the money goes to feed hungry people in Tennessee. If anyone is looking for a fun shoot check out their website for next years events. they have Middle and West Tn events with an East Tn hopefully coming next year in the fall. https://shootinghunger.com/
  14. I honestly think they just wanted a way out of spending a #### ton of money. Prior to Covid-19 gun sales had slowed and lets face it SCCY wasn't taking the industry by storm
  15. He's been given until the end of the month to show progress or its hard labor
  16. He'll get a .22 Cricket just like his brother, waiting on the day he's big enough to shoot it
  17. almost 2 weeks old now but Thankful for a new healthy baby boy
  18. supply and demand. Home construction and DIY shot through the roof during quarantine. Overall demand for lumber has exceeded the ability for production to keep up. Some home builders are reporting a 30% jump in overall house cost vs the original estimate due to lumber prices. Just think you were planning to spend $300k building a house and in 3 months time the cost jumps to almost $400k.
  19. most now wont even list a price. I think they've been getting flagged by the price alone.
  20. My man, good luck. The search for allocated bourbonz is a crazy one these days, and to get 2, you better buy lottery ticket the same day if someone comes through for ya. I'm pullin for ya
  21. They're more prevalent than most believe. Especially in that rolling karst, highland rim topography. Could be something completely different for sure but its not out of the realm of possibility
  22. The color pattern definitely resembles that of Timber Rattlesnake but that's just from the limited view in the small picture. It would be a relative small one though.
  23. I'm sure it was nice and stable after long term storage in cargo sacks
  24. yeah thats a great river to fish. after that you'll be keyed in to wading the area as well. Lots of good trout streams in our area. Clinch, Holster, Tellico, all streams in GSMNP, the theres Hiwasee down south and South Holsten, Watauga up in Tri cities
