    a quality rifle for a lefty?

    You can't go wrong with a good Browning, and left handed rifles are not difficult to fin in your caliber of choice. Blaser would be another great choice but the money will be tight.

    Question on Searcy Rifles

    My understanding is that if Butch chooses to fully retire he may close his doors instead of selling the business. I guess Butch is the only one who knows for sure, maybe he'll shed some light on his plans in the near future.

    Need some help looking for a new used double

    A lot of high end arms makers provide a life time warranty to the original owner of the firearm. As you are not the original owner of that 125 year old Holland & Holland rifle why would you expect to be offered warranty service? Searcy is not offering the life time warranty on new purchases...

    Need some help looking for a new used double

    I would never knock Searcy's quality but his warranty is becoming questionable in my mind. Three recent purchasers of Searcy doubles have stated the life time warranty is no longer offered. I would certainly verify the specifics of his warranty and settle any question you may have before...

    Sauer 202 Forest Takedown 9.3x62 / .30-06 Combo Review

    Spike you are spot on, comparing a Ruger/WIN/CZ to a take down Sauer, it doesn't make any sense. Enysse you may not like the cost of a fine European rifle but in this case it does something that the named comparable rifles won't do. the Sauer 202 take down will come apart into three pieces...

    Sauer 202 Forest Takedown 9.3x62 / .30-06 Combo Review

    Find me a Winchester, Ruger, or CZ that you can change the barrel and caliber on, without tools, while sitting on the tail gate of your truck, and not lose zero on the optics. That is the difference in a European take down and a standard bolt gun. It's like comparing apples and oranges. For...

    Browning rifles

    I'm a life long A-bolt and Browning enthusiast in general. I have owned several and still own four A-bolts in calibers from .223, 30-06, 7mm Rem Mag, and 375 HH. Not only is Browning one of the easier rifles to pick up in left hand they are relatively unchanged, making the use of different...

    Firearms Confiscation - Frankfurt Airport

    While living and working in Germany I had many occasions to travel back to the US as part of my job. On one such occasion I landed in Charlotte NC, I had brought two rifles back with me to trade and swap before heading back to the fatherland. Due to some delays I knew I was afraid that I would...

    multi-barreled guns..

    The true functionality of a multi barreled gun is readily found in Europe. The drilling (three barrel) and vierling (four barrel) are the most practical choice for the type of year round multi species hunting that is common to countries like Germany. The utility of a small rifle caliber insert...

    Bush-braai

    In Germany these were called Flemish Torches. They were cut from shed dried pine and then sawed vertically with a chain saw. If you lok at some of my photos of the post hunt in Germany you will see them burning in the background around the streck. I've never tried to cook off of one, but...
