The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Turned in some Southwest Airline points for Cabela and Walmart gift certificates Friday. I went into Cabelas ready to spend $240.00 for the Henry US Survival Rifle, and was surprised to learn it just happened to be on sale for $189.00. Man was I happy. I've been to the range twice now, and have it sited in perfect. I must have shot over 200 rounds through it already. It is such a fun gun.
FYI, the laptop in the pic is what I got with the Walmart gift certificates. It pays to stay on top of your airline points. Cat

I sold mine, had the silver model. Had the worst trigger I've ever experienced, worse than any Mosin I ever shot. Hope yours is better!

I was told to look for the model with the orange site because many improvements were made. So far, it operates flawlessly.

Sweet Doug!! I had maybe 120.000 miles at one time and never used them. It was back before they did this type of stuff though. I was working to get a free trip. Never got there though and they changed the program.

Southwest treats me pretty good. My wife also flies with me free where ever I go, until the end of 2014. But she rarely does, because we just never have anyplace to go.

My cousin is a stewardess for them and the family gets buddy passes all the time. I don't fly anymore but when my daughter was young I flew her on SW every year. I flew to Maryland from California to pick her up every year but she flew back on her own. They were always real good. No BS airline. The miles I had were for United Airlines, American and Qantas though and spread out over them. It was hard to stick to any one airline because I was traveling to Australia a lot and the flights I took were based on price and where I left from. They ranged from SFO to LAX and went to, New Zealand, Sydney and/or Brisbane, AU. No way to just stick to one. Plus I had trips to Hawaii and other places here in the US. I don't miss flying. This was before all the crap you have to deal with now. I was in Australia when 911 happened and the security started to ramp up after that but I only went back down 4 times after that. I caught the beginning of the taking your shoes off and limiting what you can take in you bag stuff in regards to liquids. I used to take all kinds of stuff down with me and brought a bunch of stuff back every trip. Not now.

That works out pretty well.
I just cashed in Holiday Inn points for a $500 hotel card. I use those, turn in my expenses and get free cash.

Anyone need to fly somewhere? I don't take credit cards but I take milsurps.

Those are cool guns, wish they made one in a slightly higher caliber.

One in 7.62x25 would be sweet.

I got $180 out of mine so I guess I can't complain.

That's what I'm saying, I get its supposed to be for small game.. However something just a by more so you could use it for defense in a pinch would be perfect.

Hey Doug, here's a Henry rifle my neighbor (the one who's wife and daughter got those nice deer in the hunting threads I posted) showed me yesterday that he just got. Save up those miles because this one's gonna cost ya!

My wife travels a lot and her company allows her to use accrued points for herself. She travels Southwest and always stays at a Hilton hotel. I don't know when we last had to pay for a flight or hotel, it makes vacations cheap.

Other than it being a fun, cheap gun to shoot, I also got it because its easy to hide. You can bury it, or throw it in a pond, and it will hold up pretty well. Its a little "just in case" rifle.
