    Be Calm

    I had the rifle made for me, as I mentioned, in 2020. I'm pretty particular about who the gun vs the firm or name that builds the gun. I met with the actioner(?) barrel maker and the other trades that would be working on it. I wanted simple rose and scroll / color case hardening, 13 #s. I had...

    Be Calm

    No it's not. Was made 2020 in California. BTW spend quite a bit of time in Harare; have friends there now. (They used to farm in Bendura.) Would like to meet some time if schedules permit.

    Be Calm

    Apologies for the picture format. Kevin, here is my double rife that I always carry. As a young boy, I didn't have the opportunity to hunt like I do today. I guess I was a mental traveler: reading all the books and articles about experiences I thought I never would have the opportunity to enjoy...

    Politics

    As I understand the argument, if the Senate does not confirm 06s to 07s, 08s to 09 etc. we have a national security problem.

    Tire kicking for a Ruger #1

    I have a Ruger #1 in 9.3X62. It is one of my favorite rifles to carry in Africa. I have friends who live in Zimbabwe that ask if I am bringing it when I visit. Perfect balance between wt and caliber.

    Double Rifle Practice

    I’ve used a double rifle for quite a few years, and I’ll give you my 2 cents: i shoot Olympic Trap, so I have to shoot quickl with a single trigger. 2-3 weeks prior to Africa, I will shoot a double SxS shotgun if I shoot clays. I e as charged in 2001 and pulled the first trigger twice. Got lucky...
