New England Custom Guns. Even if you do not see them on their website give the owners a call. They likely have what you need. Excellent company.

Never tried Watusi but have had South Asian Water buffalo plenty. It was the preferred steak when I was in Nepal as it wasn't holy beef cow. Cooked properly with the right seasoning it's....okay. Don't expect store bought steak taste. But if it's cheap and you can use your double go for it...

Those are Nepalese (especially on the right) and it looks more like post WWII by the western dress. The fellow on the left is wearing a short sleeved polo shirt. Seems 1950's or even the 1960's more than 1935.

Nothing to do with hunting animals...

He plays Sir Edward Matheson (the evil big money guy) in The Wild Geese movie opposite Richard Burton.

Which part of Oz?

Yeah. Ever since Twiggy Forest bought them they have become very "boutique". Let's hope the same doesn't happen to Akubra now that he owns them too...

That's the issue. Several years ago one could easily find factory 450/400 3 inch ammo from Norma, Kynoch, and Hornady (I'm sure I'm missing some brands). But the last few years I think that's down to just Hornady. If H stops producing it or decides that other calibers are a priority for...

I was lucky enough to get a tour at the Krieghoff factory in Ulm a few months ago. They said a minimum of 12-18 months wait for a double with one barrel. Word is Heym is 2 years minimum. Again for a rifle with one barrel.

If Russian oligarchs and Middle Eastern Royalty are your market it makes sense.

And the sizing, in my experience, is very different. I am normally an XL in jackets etc. But typically a XXL when it comes to European hunting clothing. They all fit a bit different and Fjallraven is another Euro hunting brand. LL Bean still makes their loden hunting coat and laden wool...

Living and hunting here in Germany there are two types; the clothing/gear you use in the field and then what you wear for the ceremonies and engagement afterwards. "Loden" is often associated with a color (greenish) for Americans but here it also denotes the type of wool. If you get something...

I just got from Oz on Thursday and stopped in the Sydney RM Williams store before leaving. They are selling trousers as snake-proof. I bought a pair and they indeed seem heavy weight. Not sure I will wear them in snake country and but may be give it a shot!

Yes in part but I am not going to let a hunt go south because the Manager balked at paying for our breakfast (and his) at a Wimpy of all places. No it went south when I arrived at camp to find they had booked another party for the week after assuring me that would not happen. And I found out...

"That night at campfire he was back on his phone constantly texting. Fine ... except when the lodge owner's wife had to keep getting up for wood to feed the fire." And what do you do in this case? You don't return to give them your business and you warn your friends and members of this forum...
