    Looking for a new SXS. What's available?

    I have the 12 and 20. Excellent value and a wonderful gun. The 28 is built on the 20 frame. For that I went with the Fausti DEA. Short fast SXS are excellent shooters and loads of fun

    Warning on new Leupold scopes

    What’s more likely. Child gets into gun safe picks I gun, figures out screw cap, unscrews it, eats battery. Or, child swallows battery that falls out of TV remote or toy? BTW coin cells for consumers are coated with a bitter substance that makes them unappealing. I get protecting kids. But your...

    I need a "Use Enough Gun" Gun. Suggestions?

    The 375 is almost never the wrong answer. It doesn't do varmint very well.

    A new plains game rifle

    The 375 will serve you needs well. I’d put the money into a Z8i 2-16 instead, if you planning on reaching out there. If you really want the second rifle, an 06 or 300WM makes about the most versatile two rifle set up. You’ll still need the Z8. Giving how guns are going in the UK, maybe get...

    Caliber Choice Question, Because I'm a Weirdo

    I have the Hornet barrel for my R8. Loads of fun. Blow it out to K Hornet and it really picks up. Reload with modern bullets and it takes off.

    Hard-sided Suitcases

    I’ve had Rimowa Aluminum for over 25 years. It’s been all over the planet with me. And it’s repairable. That is the old style Rimowa made in Germany. It was the standard issue to to pilots and flight crews. IBM used them for hard drives, hasseblad made camera cases. But then LVMH bought them and...

    Reinventing the typical trophy photo

    I've never been a fan of the typical grab and grin photos and don't take them.

    Blaser S2 double rifle

    I have the Blaser BBF 97 with 06/06 barrels as well as 9.3/9.3 and 20g/22 Hornet. Smaller rounds in these doubles are wonderful and give you more time with your investment… my 97s are way more fun and much lighter than my beloved R8s. I’d have a 375 barrel set if only Blaser made them.

    Utilitarian Reasons to Own Similar Rifles in the Same Caliber

    I tend to live by one is none and two is one philosophy. Two R8, one in exhibition walnut, the other in plastic. Worst case I have spare parts for everything in the 2nd gun should spares be a problem. I also have 2 F3 s for sporting. Two BBF 97s as well because they don’t seem to be supported...
