    Have You Ever Met A Movie/TV Star or Celebrity?

    I live in SoCal. You kind of have to go out of your way not to in this part of the world. But to be specific, Crystal Gale was in my sporting clays squad one day. Boy, you don't want to be a bird in the same field with that woman! She can shoot . . .

    Hat Storage

    Gosh, what a lot of great ideas! I'm going to clear out a couple of shelves in the closet in the "library" for hat storage when I start acquiring better quality hats. Right now my wool felts and straws are more or less on their own! :D

    Same here. That's why I got hold of a Brno ZKK square bridge in .458 Win and had it rechambered. When you hit a buff with that bad boy, he goes down!

    It's always a kick to go to the range and after putting everything on the bench watch the guys on either side of me back up when I open a box of .450 Rigby Rimless. And when I put up the shooting sticks and touch that cannon off, their eyes get really big. The recoil is brisk.

    Oh heck yeah! After all, with a big rifle you can always shoot something small. With a small rifle, shooting something big is a very questionable action Just because something is possible doesn't make it a good idea.

    Modern Safari inspired Jackets for the Urban Jungle Explorer (Pics)

    The belt on the safari jacket is a PITA but the pockets are useful and the epaulettes will help keep the camera/binocular strap from sliding off your shoulder and into the mud/sand/river/hippo's mouth. Years ago there was a discussion of safari clothing on the last page of Smithsonian magazine...

    Golden Era Hunting Equipment

    Someone made a film of it? I'm not surprised. There would have to be lots of scenes of running through the jungle to pad out a rather short tale but the heart-pounding excitement should be intense. Who starred? Ah! Joel McCrea, Fay Wray, Leslie Banks and Robert Armstrong, in B & W. Classy!

    Golden Era Hunting Equipment

    The Most Dangerous Game. It's a classic of the SS genre. I believe it was written by the same chap who penned the Father Brown stories.

    James, Well, it has been said that with a .303 and a .404 a man can hunt the world and never feel ill-equipped.

    The Adventurer's Gear Thread

    Baggers, that's a valid point. A warm summer day in Duluth runs in the 60's with a brisk wind off Lake Superior. They have their hot, humid days, I suppose, but it's a city built for the cold. I only have a limited number of their products because most of their clothing simply isn't suitable...

    I had a Husky Mauser 46 that I swear must have had its stock designed by some British London stockmaker. It had a laid back pistol grip with a round knob that just came to the shoulder like a fine upland gun. I had it rechambered for 9.3x63 like you did. Talk about a pocket rocket? Man...

    How popular is the fedora in 2011? Are hats seeing a resurgance finally?

    I believe I was the only man wearing a hat at church this morning. Now when I stopped in the gas station on the way home there was a young chap sporting a plaid tweed driving cap. If the rest of his attire had matched that cap he's have been quite natty.

    O'Keefe & Merritt

    I grew up with a Wedgewood from around 1950. It cooked every meal my mother prepared until they retired to Napa Valley. I learned to cook on that stove and when Mom and Dad moved, my wife and I had it fully reconditioned and use it to this day. When my son and daughter in law finally get...

    Fifteen thou . . . for a hat? Astounding, truly astounding.

    45ACP Revolvers

    Oooo . . . S&W Classics! .45 ACP and K-22 six inch barrel? Want, want, want! Of course, if someone were to give me a great deal on a 1917 Colt, I wouldn't turn up my nose . . .

    You, sir, are a man of taste and discrimination! I own a .375 Whitworth, custom built by Paul Jaeger. Loaded to 2660 fps., it puts three 300 grain Nosler Partitions into a thumbnail at 100 yards. If I had to get rid of every other rifle I own, that is the one I would retain. I have...

    I'm glad people are having fun at this. It isn't something that appeals to me but I think a 'bump' to keep the thread going is appropriate.
