    Boater or Panama?

    Stan Laurel just looks odd it the boater. His face is too long and too thin for it. W.C., on the other hand, really belongs in one. Me for the Panama.

    Probably the most painful rifle I ever shot was a Weatherby 30/06 with a composite stock in that silly Weatherby California shape. Man, three shots of that thing was too much! I gave it back to the owner and went back to my .375!

    Mmmm . . . Nice! Burnt brick, elephant pillars, porte-cochere, the works. It needs better shingles, though. ;)

    What hat to wear with a linen suit?

    Oh my! That's just the ticket. Poirot would be pleased.

    A summer wear quandary

    I think you came off quite dashing. Well dressed, that man.

    It would certainly be great fun but trying to assemble the entire Lounge in one central location would be a challenge. On the up side, there is certainly more room for shooting in the Heartland than there is on the Urban coasts! :D Now, on the subject of perceived recoil. When a heavy rifle...

    My .375 is certainly my go-to rifle. In fact, I just got in from a dry-firing session in the back yard. With snap caps, of course. I'm taking it to Wyoming this October. A bit much for mule deer, perhaps, but the absolute bee's knees for bison.

    River rock over French drains would certainly be my choice. Of course, having a gable over every entrance is only good sense as well as good design.

    If there was any house I could end my days in, it would be a California airplane bungalow along the lines of this one. I just love those. Unfortunately, I, too, live in a stucco box! :(

    Surprising find at Target

    Now if only Nordstrom's would improve the quality of their selection . . . But progress is progress.

    Hmm, in .375 it ought to hold 4. Mine holds three rounds of .450 Rigby . . . plus one in the chamber for the final hundred yards of the stalk, of course.

    In SoCal, we are rather the heart of the Arts and Crafts bungalow country. Should you come down for a visit, don't forget to spend some time driving around Pasadena and Bixby Knolls (Long Beach). And you absolutely must visit the Gamble House.

    It's a CZ 550 ghost ring. You can get one from Brownell's.

    Brown Shoes with Gray Suit?

    No, a lime green or a purple Homburg would be costume-y. Black is formal.

    Isn't that a CZ Safari grade? It has the double square bridges and the side safety.

    Brown Shoes with Gray Suit?

    And since this is The Fedora Lounge, and since it is an outdoor wedding . . . a black Homburg will 'top' everything off beautifully.

    And it feeds like a dream. Why? Because it's a .375! In the 30's and afterwards it was fashionable for American gun writers to cast aspersion on the H&H design because it wasn't "efficient". Fools! The .375 is a dangerous game rifle and in hunting dangerous game, as you well know...

    Well, I'm off to the airport to pick up my new sidelock and my new Martini action tomorrow. If I can calm myself down sufficiently, I'll post pix.

    NY Times article on city's hat shops and one on JJ Hats......

    I don't know when that might have been. To me, out here on the Left Coast, a wider brim bespeaks a working hat. Perhaps I've been around too many Westerns or something but a stingy brim, IMO, is affected. I mean, if it won't keep the sun out of your eyes, why are you wearing a hat in the...

    I had a similar M46 that I had rechambered to 9.3x63. It turned from a 'potato flinger' to a pocket rocket. That laid back Prince of Wales pistol grip must have been designed by a expatriate British stock maker because it made that old rifle the slickest running game rifle I've ever owned. I...
