I've bought guns and scopes from them.
They are legit and good deals can be had.

Also look at optics plant and their close-out website DVOR. No guns but they're like an Amazon.com for everything outdoor related (but guns)

I got a Q Full Nelson for my 300 BO, and swap it around on a 5.56, 6.5 SE, 280 AI, and 30 Nosler. It may be "optimal" for 300 BO, but it's magnum rated and makes a world of difference on deer rifles for recoil and noise management.

Most rural hospitals have "Doc Pops" that's been there for 40 years doing "country medicine" waiting to retire...or they have Siddhartha Mukherjee or Kunta Ok'weego working through a loan forgiveness program. No one else wants to work in Ferriday or Tallulah.

1st gen Tikka T3s were going for $500 to $550 on Europtic one afternoon a few yrs ago. My regret is that I just only bought one that day instead of four

If the dealer suspects it is a straw purchase, he is obligated to not make the sale.

saw this go down at a place recently. Enjoyed watching the exchange hiding behind the powder shelves.

The girlfriend was trying to buy a used $200 9mm for boyfriend b/c he "left his ID at home". Store owner said no way. They said they would go home, get ID, and come back. He said now that I know you're trying to make a straw purchase, I won't sell it to you then either b/c you're on camera in my store and they will trace the serial # back to me on the purchase.

The store owner was respectful and kind, and I was pleasantly surprised the race card wasn't played.

wait till March, get a bag of white salt and bag of red salt from Tractor supply. Couple tubs of DiCal Phosphate. Mix well and pour deer cane juice all over it so the deer will find it sooner than later.

Hog hunting outfitter near College Station/Bryan

Posted by Duckhammer_77 on 1/26/26 at 10:51 am

Have to go to College Station for work trip 2nd week of June. Thought I would tack on a little hunting trip while I was there. Does anyone have rec's for a hog outfitter that would take me on a 1-day or 2-day thermal hog hunt that time of year? I'll have a Air BnB or hotel in CS/Bryan so that's not an issue. TIA
