The frame of the Reilly, out of the Varsol and freshly scrubbed, its engraving inviting admiration.
Recalled to Life
In A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens tells of a doctor who, having been…
The .300 Weatherby with 150-grain bullets did the job on the Alaska brown bear, but it was a close-run thing.
Spoiled By Choice
Among the key advances in shotgunnery, according to all the books, are the inventions of…
The Twigg and the wherewithal for its care and feeding.
Shooting the Twigg
Among my many failings, I have minimal interest in any gun I can’t take out…
The locks of a Joseph Manton fowling piece — masterpieces of gunmaking that influenced all who followed.
Twigg — Root and Branch
The name John Fox Twigg is not as well known as it might be. I…
A 52-caliber flintlock duelling pistol, by London gunmaker John Fox Twigg (1732-92).
On a Whim and a Prayer
The Rock Island auction is alive and well, and back once again almost — almost…
TimberLuxe was developed by stockmaker Brian Board, who did the ebony extension for this W&C Scott. The result speaks for itself.
Timberluxe and the Beauty of Oil
For the better part of two centuries, the term “London oil” has been acknowledged as…
Shot size is just one of the factors to be considered in choosing a combination of gun and choke that will deliver an ethical, humane, killing pattern.
Pellets and Sportsmanship
In a recent column (Gray’s, March/April, 2021), I looked at the current fad for small…
The rifle is an 8.15x46R, built around 1912, on a Martini action. The diopter (tang) sight is new, made by Ron Roehrs of Lee Shaver’s shop, using an older one as a pattern, but of a different size.
Diopterama
In Sporting Note #16 (Falling in Love…Again, April 18) I wrote about a German Schützen…
The Windsor Woodcock employs the standard engraving layout of the Grulla Windsor model, its highest grade at that time. It has since been superseded by the Grulla Royal. Note the oak leaves on the fences.
Realizing a Dream
As I have mentioned frequently (too frequently, some would insist) my whole conception of shotguns…
The Revelation, from Tony Galazan’s Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Company, shows what can be done in an affordable American-made over/under.
Over/Under Takeover
This week, in the course of writing an article on over/under shotguns to appear in…
The Martini action was a favorite of German Schützen rifle makers, and there were endless variations. The rear sight is a diopter, intended only to sharpen the sight picture of the mid-barrel and front sight. It was an optical secret German shooters discovered early.
Falling in Love … Again
Guns and romance have a lot in common: What you think you want, and what…
Brian Board’s masterpiece (bottom) and the rasped-into-shape plastic grip on the long-barreled Challenger (top). The rasp marks can be seen clearly, but the grip works well. In my heretical opinion, the later, slimmer plastic grip is superior to the original bulky walnut one.
Getting a Grip
Among other things I lusted for at the age of 16, the Browning Challenger —…
