I've heard from many people that CDG is a filthy airport, so be forewarned. Enjoy the trip, and don't forget to take lots of pictures.

There are a slew of companies which make aftemarket slide assemblies, so I would presume the frames will need to be redesigned to no longer be compatible with those third-party slides. This will have a downstream impact on the many, many companies which have been built over the years making and...

Is that a coyote?

I shoot both the 180 an 250 in my Whelen. I've never shot game with the 180, and I expect that at Whelen velocities, I'd need to be very aware of distances to get good performance. The 250, on the other hand, kills very effectively.

I don't think I saw anyone say this, but I may have missed it in this excellent thread. Breaking major joints I've found tends to limit runs. It also damages a lot of meat, so if that's your goal, it's best avoided. But physically smashing a shoulder keeps the animal from being able to move...

Sorry I'm so late to reply, life has been keeping me busy. I will say that as much as I love this forum, the steady stream of suggestions is not good for my wallet :p I never realized how many different great choices there were for rifles until I read how many I didn't have. Perhaps some day I...

Thanks. I've got a set of small files, so if I run into a similar situation, I can give that a look. And - welcome to the forum.

That is an amazing photo.

In that case, the 243 seems like the simpler choice,since she'll already have the 6.5 to grow into and your son can use other tools. Wife uses 100gr Interlock in hers, though no stories yet on effectiveness. I also did up a bunch of 90gr Sierras for her. If recoil is a big concern, you could...

Well, looks like I need another refresher in English grammar.

Last couple of times I flew, I had to have ammunition in a separate container, but firearm and ammo could be together. Each airline, unfortunately has their own peculiarities, unfortunately. Here is a link to Southwest's current ammunition policy...

I once met someone who got got poisoned by working around jets. POL soaked rags, hydraulic fluid, brakes, you name it. But it was the liquids on skin which apparently had the biggest impact; got absorbed through the skin. That's what gave me pause about the solvents.

It gets better. The LGS lost his new rifle after it came in to the store. Took them 2 days to magically find it after he called them. I suspect someone accidentally put it out on display and it took them that long to figure it out. Well, at least he has it. Now to see if we can both get...

Only if I don't want to leave prints. Ahem. I mean, er... no, I don't. To be honest, I would be much more worried about solvents which by their nature are designed to penetrate.

The absolute first question to ask is: Is this legal where I reside? For example, I live in an unincorporated township, so county law and rules apply. There is no restriction on shooting in your backyard, as long as your bullets stay on your property (or you have understanding neighbors)...
