Yes, these are a great example. I usually carry a Hiker - in fact I have it on me now. I have several others though, including my late grandfather's Rancher, made back when they were stamped "Elinox" and purchased back in about the late 50s. It rode in his pocket long enough that the red colouring on the "Alox" scales is worn off everywhere but the bottoms of the checkering. Despite regular use over the past few decades it is still perfectly functional. Clearly built to last.

What a beauty! Engine details please.

I had a '68 and a '69, but the '65s were the best. My favorite Poncho, however is the '63 Grand Prix, kind of an oversized GTO. Took a while to get all that steel moving, but the top-end was pretty good. The 8-lug aluminum wheels were pretty sharp. If I ever get cash fat I might just have to go find another one of those. The





400 Tri-Power with no power brakes or power steering...

Savage 99EG's weren't exactly inexpensive when they were made.

Not at the time.. but they've been able to be had at bargain prices the last 20+ years (in 300 Savage at least). grin

Inexpensive things when new that last forever? Lee reloading equipment comes to mind.


Unfortunately I"ve not had that luck with Lee. But then we used to pretty much abuse our stuff, loading typically more ammo than most, 20,000 or more a year typically. SOmetimes likely pushing 30,000.

Back to normal now, probably don't load more than 500 or so rounds a year.

Overall I've had pretty good luck with Lee stuff, but it depends on the specific product. Some are pretty tough, others aren't.

You won't regret it!

Another often overlooked piece of hunting gear that is stupid cheap, works every time, and could conceivably save one's life if circumstances find you stranded out back of beyond: the Bic lighter. Way better than rubbing two sticks together like a couple of Naked and Afraid morons.

Now after looking at the link, I want a pre-owned Titanium Bertucci.

I just need to bust my inexpensive but not junk $10.00 Casio to justify the purchase. Because I have a phone that tells the time, I rarely wear a watch but always do when in a blind waiting for legal shooting to commence and cease.

I have never understood how a man leaves the house without a pocket knife, belt, and wristwatch.

I haven't worn a watch since 1996.

After I got married, I stopped keeping track of time....

I have forgotten to put my watch on once that I can remember, over 50± years of daily wear. I felt so distraught without it that I left work to go home and get it. I sometimes forget my mobile phone which elicits nothing more than a shrug on my part. I once forgot my 28 gauge ammo for a long distance grouse hunt (and none to be found in the local stores)- which elicited another shrug (and retirement to a local bar). But I had my watch on.

An original Leatherman didn't seem inexpensive at the time, but turned into one of the best purchases ever. Its getting a little loose, but I doubt I will wear it out in this lifetime. Always on my belt and ready to fix things. I have to find another sheath for it before the bottom gives way.

Those H&R Topper 30-30 barrels mated to a modern NEF/H&R receiver with close out priced Bushnell Banner scopes are more accurate than a super cheap rifle should be. Lotsa fun for the grandangels!!

Yes, I believe it is. At that time, I remember working a gas station for $0.75 per hour. Took me quite a few 8-hr days to come up with the cash what with taxes, social security etc taken out. The big Winchester, Remington, Browning, a Weatherby's units were running for 3 to 4 times that price, and were attainable solely in my dreams.

Just before I retired, I'd have $800 in hand in less than 2 days.
