Why don't I have permission to post here?
The classified section of Long Range Hunting is just one part of the community. We ask that you be a registered member for 7 days, make at least 10 posts, and have some interaction with the community in forums other than the classifieds before you can be approved to participate in the classifieds. We don't charge for the classifieds, but we would all love to get to know who we are dealing with. A great place to start is with an introduction about yourself. Feel free to start an intro thread here .

If you would like to upgrade your membership, become a LRH Team Member, and start posting in the classifieds right away, you can upgrade your membership here . It's a great way to support the site and let us know that you appreciate the opportunity to use the classifieds.

Any post that has had no activity within 45 days will be moved to an inactive or sold forum in order to keep our classifieds updated. It's recommended you post if an item is sold or if you're still looking to sell it within that time frame. As once it's moved you will need to recreate the thread.

We use a feedback system that allow folks to look at items sold via threads and posts. If you sell an item, please do not edit the post and remove as future buyers will not be able to see your track record. If abuse of the system is found, we will disable your account.

Tips for Buyers:
