    the hat friendly world

    I'm up here in Portland, OR visiting my daughter and exploring the possibility of relocating here because I've had about all the heat and drought of SoCal that I can stand. Today we went to the Portland Art Museum to see a truly wonderful exhibit of the golden age of Venice's art and music...

    Ah, the Featherweight model. I've got one, too, and was told by the H&H shooting school chief instructor that OTR it fits me as well as a bespoke double should. I guess one has to get lucky once in a while.

    Safari Express rifle pic thread

    I've been advised that they are a bit hard to put down so it's nice to know that they are exceptional eating. I may have to give it a try some day.

    Any Tips on safari outfit?

    Gosh. If despite the bad photo these things take off, once LE is free of Sears they might bring back W&G in earnest. One can dream . . .

    One of the great shotguns of all time, sadly very rare in this country.

    That is one pretty gun! I'm no fan of small bores, myself, but for someone who is it would be a delight.

    Common, yes. But no repeating shotgun ever made approaches the grace and handling of the M12. Even so eminent a gun writer as Gough Thomas thought so.

    Oh, glorious! I'd really appreciate it if you would post that lovely thing in the Gun Room forum in The Snuggery . . . for the love of old guns, you know.

    A '40's version of an AR15! Most amusing.

    Jeez, look at those shell pockets. Has anyone calculated how much eight .577's weigh? I sure as heck don't want that clanking around my midsection while I'm trying to move quietly through the jess and the waitabit bushes.

    1920s Tweed Shooting Day

    It's enough to make one wish that flying to Philly was less expensive.

    Bush Jackets

    At this year's Safari Club International convention in Las Vegas, I met Gary Nesse and spoke to him about his hunting clothing. I was immensely impressed. Gary has put a lot of thought into his Ultimate Jacket and it looks like he's put the same amount of thought into his bush jacket. For...

    Man, that is one strange looking shotgun. But it seems to work and beauty is as beauty does, they say. Nice find. If you're in the southern half of the state, give me a PM and we'll go break a clay or two.

    My Wooden Canoe

    Oh, lovely! Just . . . utterly . . . lovely. No matter how 'practical' modern synthetic materials are, there simply isn't anything quite so graceful as a wooden boat.

    Now that was a find!

    The shell pockets look functional and on the original that I own the shoulder padding is only functional for a given value of 'functional'. A bit of quilted cotton over one's shoulder can hardly be considered a 'recoil' pad, especially when there is no pocket behind it to hold an insertable...

    I have one that my grandfather carried on parade when he was in the Elks drill team. It's nickle plated and the bore is absolutely dead. I'm giving some thought to pulling the action and rebarreling and restocking it into a classic "Gemmer", a Hawken style sporter. Phil Spangenberger says...

    I understand that another way to make your DI go ballistic is to refer to male lower outerwear as "pants" rather than trousers. In the Army we were never so fastidious, at least in my hearing. Come to think of it, firearms were always referred to as 'weapons' back in my Viet Nam era BCT . . .

    Personally I believe in both the 'common courtesy' aspect and the idea that the public is better off when the criminals don't know who's armed. Yes it's a right, okay? But the responsibility that goes with the right is equally important and I'd rather not have jittery neighbors.

    Yeah, a 46 in 6.5 would be the ultimate woodland deer rifle.
