congrats on the Marlin, I'm sure you will love it



try getting some heavy hardcast bullets loaded up, they would be my ideal choice for the 45/70 (bear defense and all...*pounce*)

It certainly is a pain to have to travel 4 hours to buy reloading supplies.

...............yup i hear ya Crayton. There is also three gyms. Not bad for a town of 8300. I often wonder why the Fort never had a gun store that lasted. Lord knows there is alot of enthusiasts. Lots of people use the range but we had to travel 4 hours for components. Doesn't make sense

Mail order!

So Mark, what modifications will you be adding to yer guide gun?

 

[stubblejumper]

The main reason that a gunshop has never lasted in Fort Mcmurray is that the vast majority of people will buy their supplies from wallmart or Canadian tire and their guns from wholesale sports in edmonton to save a few percent.A small business simply can't buy their supplies in large enough volumes to offer the same prices and not enough people will pay a little extra to keep a gunshop viable.

...............not too sure John, still thinking about it. I went to pick it up thisn aft. and the friggen tranasfer went to the CFO for approval. That sucks.

The XS ghost ring set for the 1895 works well for me and I'll be trying out the scout scope mount in my guide gun. For sure, you may want to have your gunsmith smooth out the action and do a trigger job. Have fun with your new Big Bore!

I thought that was strange that there wasn't a gunshop in the Fort

I figured people don't have enough extra time off from work to hunt.

Where did you buy it and how much $$$ (if I may ask)?

I recieved my GG from slug last week and had it out on Sunday.

Can you say YEAH BABY. BOOOOOM!

............i paid 700.00 with tax at the local sporting goods/gun store. Thats 60.00 more than wholesale but i just moved here and would like to support the local fella here as he sells powder and components as well. The extra 60.00 is worth it to me as he was great to deal with and i didn't have to deal with the Wholesale guys which sometimes is about as enjoyable as getting your ##### caught in a meatgrinder.

Ouch!I guess that your experiences with the wholesale staff were even worse than mine.

700 incl. taxes is a very good deal. Congrats!
