I was told the same thing at my local usps. I have to have an ffl to ship a rifle. I told them I don't, and insisted on it (nicely, of course). After the postmaster came out and got her book out and we went through it, I now ship all my rifles through usps.

I added a photo so you can at least see what kind of safety I am talking about. And a big thanks to anyone who takes the time to respond. It is much appreciated!

What's the weight like on either rifle?

At the ranges your shooting, no mule deer will be able to tell the difference. If you wanted to save money just use your 270. Then again, when did I ever need an escuse to buy a new rifle?

Lots of good advice here. I would just throw in; for a stock, look at Browns Kevlar pound'r. 16 Oz stock you need to inlet yourself. Very stiff when finished, so I hear. I think they run between 3 and 4 hundred (though don't quote me on that).

For a 3 season tent I haven't been able to beat my river country products 2m tent. 2.5 lbs. $50. And I don't mind if it takes a beating (though mine has held up well so far).

I have been looking at the Kimber Montana as well as the fieldcraft. Both look like super nice rifles. Anyone with experience shooting both?

I always wanted to get after a blueberry black bear on a DIY hunt. Anyone have any experience chasing one? Favorite state and/or time of year? I do plan on looking much deeper into this and doing all the research on it I can, but thought I would pick you good gentleman's brains as well.

These reviews have been excellent! I have really been considering getting one.

I run my stone Glacier 3500 (I believe it is 3500). Really packs down, and is comfortable to hunt the day with. Not quite as comfy as my small day pack, I admit. Though carrying out a hindquarters on each shoulder because all I have is a day pack is even less comfy.

I live in Nebraska, and have been struggling with this. I run, but there is very little in line here:).

Honestly, if he's nine get the kid a 243. When he is 15 or 16 then get him a 260. The recoil difference between the two rounds is significant, and that is one of the top things that turns kids off to the sport, parents saddling them with too much gun. Either way he is your kid. It's great he...

Honestly, I have found it hard to beat my river country products 2 man tent. 2.5 lbs, and costs $50. Held up just fine backpacking the snowy range in Wyoming for a week.

Honestly, I would stick with something like a 308 (if you want a short action) or a 30-06 or 270 if you want a long action. One day you'll get more rifles, and this will then become a great backup, loaner, or a good rifle to put in the circulation.
