The Bergaras are excellent also. If you can find one, the old Kimbers were wonderful, in a league of their own.

Rented one of these in Costa Rica recently. I was so impressed. What a great little SUV

Yes, I keep looking at the Pelikans. I actually like them more than the MB's. Luckily, my MB was a gift on a consulting gig....not sure I could rationalize their current prices. Many great choices on the market today. I keep a few Lamy Safaris around also. They're great for the money.

I'm a big fountain pen fan. Yes, the Mont Blancs are wonderful. I use mine at work, but my daily is the compact Kaweco AL Sport. They're aluminum so they have some heft to them and they write beautifully. Very well sealed with quality cartridges so no leaking on airplanes. Flat sided cap...

Every watch guy should own a Seiko diver of some type. Fantastic watches. They're icons that transcend cost/value, status, luxury etc. Always a great choice.

As MS 9x56 said, the 173gr SPCE is my favorite, especially if shots aren't going to be over 250 yds. My No 1 and M77 Rugers love this bullet/weight. That SPCE bullet shoulder will usually cut a very well-defined hole in the hide on entrance (for great blood trails), much like a 38 wadcutter...

I would not modify this. The rifle is designed for reliability in a dangerous situation above all else........robustly clear the empty cases from the ejection port is the only goal here, period. Winchester is not concerned with reloading and designed the ejection system as such. I consider it...

Yes, I agree on the heavier bullets, especially in 7x57. We're always looking for another option there, but the costs to export/ship bullets have gotten out of control the last 3-5 years. Then figure in the increased powder costs that have hit the industry and prices become tough to manage...

That's peak wristwatch right there.

Yes sir, that's me. Unfortunately, we have not been able to get the Partitions any longer at a reasonable cost after all the freight to export etc. I'm using my stash sparingly as it's my favorite. Everything we load currently uses an internally produced projectile. We do have a new copper...

Just sent a PM. Thank you

Maybe not to everyone, I thought Denvir was spot on

I waited almost 10 months for my renewal to be approved. There seems to be little consistency to the approval process.

Well, you are correct, but I have a few other purchases in progress that I have to manage now. I'm sure I'll end up with one.

Looks great. It's got me thinking about selling my standard Pelagos and getting one of the GMT's
