In my teen years, I bought quite a few things from Herter's: complete reloading equipment (press, scale, powder measure, etc.), two U9 barrelled actions (one in 7x57 for me and one in 7 RemMag for my father), a 3x scope, a pair of downhill skis, and a bunch of smaller items. Everything was good quality. The only purchase that I regretted were the skis; they were designed for competition skiing and were incredibly stiff - not the type of ski for a beginner to have. Also, I bought them too long for my size and skill, which made them even harder to control.

Loved the catalogue and would spend hours pouring over it.
