Someone said: "Life is too short to hunt with an ugly rifle." Although I don't have the finest examples, I am grateful for what I've been blessed with. I do admire those presented in these pages from Shrapnel's older gems to geedubya's newer works of art and all the other fine ones. Thanks for showing them fellers, I for one love to see them!


Shew me thy ways, O LORD: teach me thy paths.
"there are few better cartridges on Earth than the 7 x 57mm Mauser"
"the .30 Springfield is light, accurate, penetrating, and has surprising stopping power"
