Gentlemen, it must be nice to have folks pay you thousands of dollars for a safari and let you shoot there animals for them. Man would I like that have his job! .................................................:LOL: Mac

You have this man figured out, that's a fact! .....................................................................................................................................:D

A good friend and I had sixteen lion and bear hounds that we ran in the mountains of New Mexico. That Pueblo Creek country is not only high altitude, but there is no level ground at all. In that country the weight and size of your rifle is damned important to keep up with the dogs and lion or...

……………………………………………..Strumming! Why it happens I find that the strumming is usually done by someone who is not used to shooting double rifles, especially big bore double rifles, and a person who has done a lot of shooting with low recoil of single barreled rifles. The worse offenders are those...

Sorry to say but the picture you posted is NOT a Cape Gun, but a drilling! A cape gun is a Side by side rifle shotgun, usually with the shot barrel on the left and the rifle barrel on the right. Some folks call an Over Under combination rifle shotgun a Cape Gun, and that is not correct...

All this comes from a thing called "BARREL TIME" which is the time the bullet stays in the barrel from ignition to exit at the muzzle. This is why the erroneous opinion most novices have that if the barrels were fitted exactly parallel with lazars pointing exactly to point of aim, the rifle...

BOLDO, you will not feel the difference between the way the different barrels recoil. It is not important in a shotgun, but is very important in a double rifle. What happens when the RIGHT barrel is fired on a S/S double rifle, the barrels move BACK, UP, and AWAY form the other barrel ( to...

There is no doubt that the ejectors are faster in a re-load situation where one is in a very close charge of a very dangerous animal set on running you over. When you are dealing with one animal the sound makes little difference. However when hunting things like tuskless cow elephant in tight...

Congratulations sir, I'm glad you got one of the good ones, many weren't so lucky! ....................................................................................................................................Mac (y)

CLASSIC????????? It is a mater of fact that folks tend to think anything that was invented before they were born is a CLASSIC, You know made in "olden times" as my grandson would say about things made in the late 1980s simply to him that is 20 years before he was born. As stated by...

The above post is the map for proper advice meant to help not hinder others. We all learn from others experiences and when it comes to hand-loading it pays to make double and triple checks before beginning to load. As some one above stated when loading one cartridge only the components for...

Red Leg I too have owned and still own both O/U and S/S rifles and shotguns, and unless you are loading both one barrel at a time the O/U is definitely slower to reload than a S/S. I reload both barrels simultaneously on my S/S doubles and the O/U requires loading one barrel at a time...

All double rifle when fired each barrel moves up, and away from the other barrel. If the rifle is properly regulated it will make no difference which right or left handed shooter shoots it. The fact is if the rifle is properly regulated by the maker and the sights are on target when each...

The time needed to open and close is not the problem with an O/U double rifles gape! It is almost impossible to reload both barrels simultaneously on a O/U double, and when taking on a cape buffalo or lion at very close range the first two shots often will not stop the fight. Having to...

The Merkels have a greener cross bolt and will not open if the lever doesn’t move the cross bolt enough to clear the hole in the rib extension. Removing the fore end wood will not help. A broken firing pin will not cause the lever to not open. As far as I know the only thing that will lock...
