Thanks Mule Deer! Will do

bwinters, Thanks for the clarification on your take on the article--before you read it. No need to apologize, as I understand how we can project our own tendencies into reading anything! Here's a photo of the last 4 rifles I've purchased and/or traded for: From the top: Sauer drilling, 16x16x7x57R, with a 1.5-6x Zeiss Diavari scope. 1903-03 Springfield, made by Remington in 1942, apparently all original. (Thethe sling may not be.) Ruger Hawkeye African, .275 Rigby. BSA Martini Model 12, a .22 rimfire converted to .22 Hornet. You can see my recent tendencies, but I still occasionally buy (or "build') a practical hunting rifle, even though between my New Ultra Light ARMS .30-06 and Whitworth .375 H&H (which has both a walnut and synthetic stock), along with a few others, am pretty well outfitted for practicality anywhere in the world. John I like the BSA very much. You scored well Sir. I had never heard of "panache" until I read an article by Skeeter years ago.

Thanks!

The most recent, September/October 2020. The cover has a big bull elk bugling directly at the camera, and the cover blurb for the article says, "Traditions vs. Trendsetting."

philgood80, I don't think SA sells individual articles on-line, but they do publish some on-line from past issues--for free. But usually not really recent articles. You might try purchasing the issue: https://sportsafield.com/back-issues/Thank You. I’ll pick it up & read it before stepping too deep into this conversation.

Very nice!
I have been more than mildly curious with the 275 Rigby given my proclivities to the 280 Rem through the last 35+ years. I've owned a couple 7x57 and think they make ideal medium game cartridges despite Mr. Bell's usage. I've threatened to build one for a while. I'd prefer it stamped 275 Rigby, gives it a bit more panache...... Have you considered the 7x64 for panache ? No point making it easy , or too practical. Just a thought

We all need panache... some more than others.

Mule Deer: I'm pretty sure that BSA is a Model 15 with what's referred to as a "Special Stock". See the more complete description of the various small frame Martini rimfire rifles here: http://www.adamsguns.com/martini.htmRem

I think it can be summed up with panache Winchester Model 21 and practical Winchester Model 24!

Is this article available online for purchase? I have searched all over town with no luck trying to find this volume. Isn’t carried here. I know I can go online and subscribe to SA and probably will but that won’t get me this edition. I looked and looked and didn't find the issue on the newstands either, but apparently it is already available online for free on SA's site. I just found this - haven't even read it yet - wanted to post it first for those who, like me, have been searching for it. Cheers, Rex panache-vs-practicality

TRx thanks for the link, I’ve been looking for a copy on the newsstand locally without success. Since first mentioned here.
I’m not sure that the article really touches on Panache so much as Trying to imply that Traditional, but archaic rounds with excessive throating variances imbue the user with this mystical Panache. My take is that this is Just a Quixotic pursuit of futility.
Far better a .280 , or some flavour of .280 Improved (RCBS 28 degree) for Practical Panache
To me, A 3” 338-300WSM in an Intermediate length CRF action, that feeds flawlessly has panache. I don’t care if it is stocked in Kevlar reinforced fibreglass, French Walnut, or Birch. It still has to be functional.
Cheers DixNeuf sucks !

You guys aren't finding that issue of SA on newstands because it appeared in August.

I've been LOOKING since August. Strangely, it seems none of the stores in my "orbit" even carry SA at all, despite selling lots of other sporting mags, some of which I would consider far more obscure than SA.
John, I'm assuming the link I posted above is the complete story, and not something abridged for online. I just read it over supper and enjoyed it very much - thanks. Now I have to get back to the shop and work on inletting the walnut for my 1903 Springfield .275 Rigby, 1903 Springfield 9.3x62, and Mauser .256 Newton (the 1903 Springfield 338-06 is already done). I have a chance to have my buddy drive them on the 6th of December to the fellow in CO that's going to blue them for me. If I can get them all done in time, I'll save a bunch on shipping!
And the next trip to the range is going to be the first trial on the TC Compass II 6.5 CM, in its Tupperware stock, detachable magazine, and matte-black finish.
I reckon I'm kind of middle of the road, like you, but I do love the nice blue and walnut oldies.
Thanks for a nice read, Rex

Rex,
Yeah, not all newstands carry SA--though here in Montana most do.
The linked article is the entire printed version. Glad you enjoyed it! Many years ago the late, great John Wootters told me that gun writing is primarily entertainment--something I took to heart.
