God forbid that he had fired it? Replacing a double barrel set ain't cheap! I shudder just to think about it.- Oldsarge

Safari Express rifle pic thread
Oh, heck yeah. Go for it. My actuarial expectancy is supposed to be another thirty years but I firmly believe one should live ninety miles an hour until you fall off the edge. I've been on safari five times and fully intend to go again. But my .450 Rigby, my .404 and my .318 Westley Richards...- Oldsarge

Safari Express rifle pic thread
I concur. For the average American (or European, for that matter) desirous of a double rifle, the 9.3x74R is the way to go. Enough power for Africa if backed up by a PH carrying some serious artillery but gentle on the shoulder and a sound caliber on Northern game. I'm not 100% sure that I am...- Oldsarge

Butch makes really good guns. I'm pretty sure it will not only shoot well but give you years of use. BTW, he's just a great all-round guy.- Oldsarge

After carrying an M-16 for 29 years I just can't get into the AR format. Okay for some, but not me.- Oldsarge

Bob, I know about those! I hope yours have a happier result than my family's. People tell me I'm actually not doing too badly under the circumstances but getting over the loss is going to take a long time. p.s. Nice rifle! One of those in Krag is my fantasy Eastern Canada moose gun. Of...- Oldsarge

My goodness, they do have an excellent selection to choose from don't they? I think an order will be headed their way around the first of February . . .- Oldsarge

Since Oregon has 'shall issue' CCW's, I think I'll go looking for something like that after I move up there. Nice little revolver.- Oldsarge

It never occurred to me that the barrels might be interchangeable. Thanx for that info. I will keep it for future reference. Having a shorter barreled version for field use just makes enormous sense. I know I'll need it in Portland in about a year and a half.- Oldsarge

Now that's what I call a stylish camp!
When I was Active, those were called 'squad tents', presumably on the theory that you could sleep an entire rifle squad in one. That led me to believe that riflemen must have been smaller in the day when they were designed! A five man fire team would have been cozy but all eleven? Only if...- Oldsarge

After hemming and hawing around about it I finally 'bit the bullet' and acquired a 7" S&W Model 41. It doesn't have a magazine but Midway is advertising factory replacements so I ordered a couple. I've wanted one of these for years!- Oldsarge

I reloaded for years, first for the savings and later for the 'need' to shoot odd ball cartridges. I loaded up so many that I probably have a lifetime supply. Maybe I need to go to the range more often . . .- Oldsarge

Shangrila
Victoria Falls and the Vic Falls Hotel. Sitting on the veranda looking out over what seemed to be forty acres of lawn with the Iron Bridge in the distance and the mist arising from the falls themselves, the only proper thing to order is a gin and tonic.- Oldsarge

Yeah, I recall reading once upon a time that real pistol fights take place at knife range. Anything farther away you're better off with a long gun.- Oldsarge

Those old style double guns are absolutely lovely but the drop at comb makes shooting them a problem. I suppose that being boxlocks they wouldn't be that hard to have restocked (and naturally you'd want to keep the original stock for resale if the time ever came) but it would be a labor of love...- Oldsarge
