Heading for SA in the 20th of JUne for just 4 weeks. This time I will just borrow a rifle. My main hunt is as simpel as it gets....Hunting springbok on the open grassveld for some 4-6 days. Maybe some warthogs and duikers too. Ever since I was diagnosed with Leukemia(survived so far)) my only...

I have been looking for this set of books for many years. I was lucky just before Christmas to find a bookdealer in the US who had it for a very fine price. Its difficult to price a book that hasn`t been for sale in years. This set here is the rare Large Edtion which only 250 sets were made in...

Living here in Denmark one has to look hard to find ammo for what considered oddball calibers. Today I was lucky. 13 boxes of .300 H&H Winchester Silvertips. As I recall the Silvertip was known to blow-up, but for smaller softskinned game I ain`t worried....and for $350 what does one get in...

Just putting my Jim Corbett books together for the first time. Thet are normally placed on different booksshelves.

I have often thought what was the best of the hunts I have been on in Africa. I can single out a few hunts on particular game but what comes to me as best moments was really the days I didn’t hunt, but just walked around with a rifle or camera to see what oppochunities that might arise. One...

I have some 400 Hornady .470 cases. What is the easiest way to cut them down to 3" for use in my .500 3" ex rifle?. I have tried with lathe., but there must be a simpler way. I was thinking a simpel jig set-up with a dremel or something. Most casetrimmers won`t take the .500cal rim like my...

My favorite doublerifle is not an expensive rifle, but merely a plain gun by Cogswell & Harrison in .500ex 3". I casted some 340grain HPs here the other day and I look foreward to make up regulating loads. Casting HPs are time comsuming. Many were discarted as the large HP pin cool faster during...

I have for many years wanted a 1897 Farquaharson in a .500cal. Preferred a Blackpowder express, but a nitro version would also do. Must have min 26" barrel, good strong rifling, not abused. Dents here & there is ok as it is the battlescares of history. Its ok if the finish isn`t original as I...

I was lucky to win a little auction here today. These Rook & Rabbitrifle are quit rare in these parts where I live. I have handled these guns many times over the years and thought one day I ought to have one..just one. Preffered a HH in the .300cal Rook(.295).

I have a few times in my life been asked this question and I belive my answer has always been the same "I get stimulated by the chase, the tracking, the lurking etc etc". This bring me to the next but perhaps a more controversial topic. How many of those on this forum actually got to hunt/find...

An english gundealer send me these photos of an attic find near London. Lancaster rifles with oval bore above .450cal are rare. Here is a real piece untouched from the victorian era. Maybe the last shot from this rifle was fired in the 1880s-1890s. I am a big sucker for this "junk". It creates...

Safaris in Africa has the bigbore rifle appeal and history. I know Iknow…Bell created history with small repeaters and so did a few others. When I visit a friend in FreeState I borrow .22-250 for springbok even though I also bring my .270wea. Over many campfires we have always discussed if...

A dear friend named Jon Olsen pasted away in Sept 2021 of throat cancer. He was also a gunmaker who made my M98 .300 HH. With the last threads about the .300 HH I thought of pulling mine out. Jon only became 56 years of age. The gold inlayes most wait...well he made this gun in 2004-2006. It was...
