I am the buddy. Absolutely no luck what so ever finding a T/C Rifle in this country. Russells has them back ordered for a year or so. SIR is getting back to me on a special order. Most US companies tell me not interested in shipping to Canada.
Are the Pedersoli rifles from Marstar any good? Some of their models look suspicously like traditions rifles which I hear nothing but complaints about.
I just want a nice hunting rifle, that will take a good charge and be reliable.
Anyways I am in a rush because I am up in the Arctic for another month maybe 2 and I would love to shoot a caribou old school style.
Cheers.
