Great looking piece, which model is it?

You can buy with confidence from DavidSW in Florida. Their HQ is 10 min from my office so I'm in there often. The guys are great to work with and only handle first class, as new product. I forget how many watches I've gotten from them personally and for friends. All of my Omegas have come...

Thank you. I can't wait to get to Africa with it this summer.

They're wonderful rifles and I always encourage friends to buy them. I have 3 of them and they've all been very accurate out of the box. I agree with Bandera on the 1" scopes vs 30mm. I use the Leupold VX3 1-5 and 4-12 scopes on mine mounted in Leupold low rings. Keeps the package trim...

I decided to get my old No 1 Boddington 300 H&H out last weekend and set it up for a hunt. Been sitting in the safe for years NIB. I shoot the matching 7x57 all the time, but this one just sat. No experience with a 300 H&H prior to this, but now I'm absolutely sold on the cartridge. First...

No doubt, go into any Spanish gun purchase with your eyes open. I'd say the same about old English guns as well. My point is that Spanish Best is a great read from one of the best authors in the hunting/shooting space.

Great advice here on the AyA's, especially the note about avoiding the single trigger guns. I've owned 3 of the No 2's and a 4/53 boxlock. They've all been solid shotguns for me. Be sure to read Terry Wieland's book, Spanish Best. An absolutely wonderful book on the Spanish shotgun trade as...

S&B does not import any of the steel content jacket material loads into the USA any longer.

I have that rifle and love it. Buy it if you find one, they're wonderful.

That watch is so good

It's so much fun spec'ing a gun to your taste and having it fit you properly. I'm the other end of the size spectrum, 5'7" and 140. Nothing off the rack is going to fit shooters like us properly. Many great guns out there, but unless they fit....... Once you experience how 1/8" someplace on...

Careful with the CZ's/Turkish guns, they often build 16ga's on 12ga frames and 28ga's on 20ga frames etc defeating the purpose of going to a lighter, more lively upland shotgun

Good point on the 20ga and lighter rules at some lodges. After 2 good seasons of shooting wild SD, Iowa and NE roosters, sharptails and prairie chickens with 28ga 3/4oz copper 6's (over good dogs at reasonable ranges of course) I just don't see the need for more than a 28ga or 20ga.

I'd look at the Upland Gun Company SxS's, made in Italy. Their Zeus model starts at $2500, though you're probably going to be in for $3K by the time you spec it up. The real beauty of the UGC shotguns is that they'll build the stock to your dimensions, which in my opinion, is the most critical...

Love it, that's first class for sure.
