Cabela Trip

Post by Sakobav » Sat Jun 23, 2012 7:16 pm

I had to make a quick trip to Hartford CT and swung by Cabelas. It was interesting to check the gun library saw some nice rifles and shotguns. Two used ones interested me a Sako Finish and Remington BDL. These both are used guns and need to find FFL in my fair city which is a task.

Then there was Sauer Pistol, Colt 25 and Nagant revolvers.
Outside state troopers were giving a K 9 Demo with a German Shepherd dog . A simple thing never realized that dogs are only worked for .25 mile patches because they get tired due to hyperventilation. They all do this as part of game and reward latter a toy. Dog simply sits down close to the source of smell 2 feet dia. Key thing is sitting down for reward no half way standing on hunching. There was a cute kid who was enamored by the dog but was warned to stay away that Dogs motor was on and needs to be winded down or switched off.

Nice Navi,
You finally got to satisfy some of that Sportsman's hunger.

Thanks for the pics,Navi. The Nagant is a curious design.I come across one now and then here.

Got your eyes on any rifle? :wink:

Vikram, the Nagant is one of the two revolvers that always fascinated me with their unique engineering, the other being the .455 Webley Fosbery, father of the Mateba if I may say so..

Here's some youtube videos on the Nagant with silencer. You may have seen them already but still attaching.
