Only two trips and nothing stolen. I do keep all of my cash on my person, never leaving it in a room or bag. I use a hard sided large pelican case as a suitcase so it can't be cut open. The only time I've used a credit card was at a business owned by my PH. I really only worry about losing my rifle.

I will admit that modern target guns are very durable. I witness the abuse they can take without breaking every week at my club. I am coming at this from a different perspective. I shoot vintage sxs guns - mostly British- some of which are over 140 years old. I've had guns put back on face...

There are many factors involved in keeping break action guns tight and on face. Greasing the hinge pin and bolts, using sensible loads for which the gun was designed and keeping the gun clean. I would add another, how the shooter opens and closes their gun. Slamming the gun open or closed will...

I have done it and so have others. Mine was a Husky 98 large ring. No alteration needed for correct feeding. I did bed the action and added two crossbolts because of the greater recoil. Shoots great. It's my favorite rifle.

So good of you to do this for Bosveld Jacobs. The Jacobs family are very good people.

I've met the man and have his book. Excellent read.

They handle everything.

I bought a Husky 146 from Simpsons. Had it rechambered from 9.3x57 to 9.3x62. Large ring 98 action. I bedded the action and added two Talley crossbolts. Put a 2-7x scope on it and took it to Africa. It's my favorite rifle.

I could not watch the whole video. Just too painful. I've shot double triggered sxs shotguns my whole life and I think anyone new to double rifles should buy a twin triggered sxs double and shoot a lot of clays. Shooting doubles at skeet and sporting clays will build muscle memory and make you a...

Nothing at all wrong with a sleeved double. You are basically getting a new set of barrels. Critics sometimes say that sleeving destroys the balance of a good gun but that has not been my experience. Sleeving is a costly endeavor that requires a lot of skill. The gunsmiths doing sleeving...

My mistake. I saw a photo of another model.

Thank you. Shoots very nicely too.

Front swivel no longer a barrel band and the stock is now a Monte carlo.

My favorite is a Husqvarna Mauser in 9.3x62. Made about 1940. It is a Model 146 that was a 9.3x57 that I had rechambered to 9.3x62. It's a plain rifle but it sure looks old school cool.
