Safari Express rifle pic thread
Yup. That's why I sold mine. With a .375 and an .404 what was the 9.3x62 for? However, that little Husky 46 with the round pistol grip was such a sweet handling thing. It made me want to go hunting on XC skis, for heaven's sake! I just want another, that's all.- Oldsarge

Safari Express rifle pic thread
The 62mm case isn't loaded to pressures any greater than the 57mm case, it just holds more powder. So long as one doesn't get either stupid or come down with a bad case of Weatherby-ness (not that there's a lot of difference!) and try and stuff the case to 110% capacity you should have no...- Oldsarge

Safari Express rifle pic thread
Those Husqvarner 46's are wonderful little rifles. I had one in 9.3x57 that I had rechambered to 9.3x62 and it was a pocket rocket. It handled like a fine shotgun and the larger cartridge is a famous killer. Unfortunately, I already had a half safe full of safari rifles and an old friend from...- Oldsarge

What are the Oldest Objects you Own?
My wife's father was stationed on the Aleutian Islands during WWII. While walking along the beach he looked down and saw a basalt oil lamp carved in the shape of a seal head and brought it home. After some adventures it ended up in our house. How old? No one can tell without C14 testing the...- Oldsarge

New Years Day Rabbit Hunt
Not quite correct. Rabbit's sole nutritional failure is its lack of fat. The olive oil/bacon/whathaveyou solve that problem and, of course, lots of vegetables.- Oldsarge

New Years Day Rabbit Hunt
My favorite rabbit recipe is to marinate the cut up rabbit in Tabasco for about an hour, then dredge in flour, brown and just before you clap on the lid, add a third cup of each chicken stock and dry sherry. Cover and simmer about 25 minutes until tender, the thicken the sauce with either a...- Oldsarge

New Years Day Rabbit Hunt
Meat is meat. Killing your own is more morally responsible than going down to the supermarket to pick up some pre-packaged protein processed by some underpaid minority in less than ideal conditions all the while pretending it grew on a bush! Rabbits are going to get eaten by something sooner...- Oldsarge

1920s Tweed Shooting Day
Oh, most satisfactory! I have a great affection for guild guns. They are so beautifully made and yet, by comparison with the collectable 'names', so reasonably priced. Where did you find it?- Oldsarge

Report from the mountains
Not a fan of sub .30 bullets when the receiving critter gets over 500 lbs., despite being a devoted O'Connor reader as I was coming up. Yeah, they'll do the job when you put 'em right but I just like the extra edge the extra weight and frontal area give me. To be honest, if I were to hunt elk...- Oldsarge

Gough Thomas himself once stated that the Model 12 gave up nothing either aesthetically or functionally to a British double. Best pump gun ever!- Oldsarge

My doubles are one Citori and one Jeffrey. The only American double I had was a Remington 16 ga. that was stolen. Just as well, the drop was so extreme that I could hit the broad side of a barn from the inside.- Oldsarge

Show us your Guns!
My only gripe about the Hi-Power is that it fires the 9mm. Now with today's ammunition that is possibly less an issue than it was in the past but I just don't feel confident with that round. I want 10mm at minimum and really prefer a .45 for serious social shootin'. Now if it is possible to...- Oldsarge
