Variation on the old cabin thread: Northern small town hardware store chamberings

[RatFink]

^ sounds like "Caroline Supplies" in Caroline, Alberta.

Big hunting area. The store is half general store, half extremely well stocked gun store. Lots of stuff there I haven't seen anywhere else.

That's such a fun store to wander through.

30-30 was huge with the guys I worked with in the Northern interior. I can only think of one town literally an hour from the border in BC at least

Ft Nelson has everything, even 458 Winchester.

I was just in what I consider a very well stocked store and they had:

You only have to dream up guessing games for another 6 months... we are already deadlocked in winter weather.

#### I was just doing a job where we flew for an hour, that can take you pretty far.

Mystery store could be in a lot of places.

I sold a .375 H&H to a fella in Manning... guess he has to go "mail order" for the ammo...

 

[Ardent]

Our .375 H&H? Small world if so!

Nope... another one... CZ.

Ha I was in one of the stores in manning and I thought they sure had some oddball ammo. Some I had never even heard of before

Must be Dixie Rose's.

Lol. When you said hour south i figuured Ft Nelly, but thats more than 1000, or High Level, ditto more than 1k. Btw in the future you need to give us airspeed. I would never in a thousand years consider Manning an hour south of NWT.
Just go to Peace River if you want the cheap fed 7x57. I left them a few boxes when i was last through.
