I wouldn't leave the camp in the morning without my ASC shooting sticks. Used them successfully on a couple US elk and antelope hunts also.

I really enjoy the photography side of my trips and like to have a proper camera with me. I use a Fuji XT2 (XT5 is the current version) which is a compact interchangeable lens mirrorless camera. The XT cameras and X series WR lenses that are weather-resistant and built for hard use (not...

There's nothing wrong with that picture!

Not that's it's ideal, but I've used them on game out to 400 yds and they've been great. It's all about practicing with them. It's good fun to run drills that progress out to 300-400, while adding some physical stress. Again, not ideal but shooting at distance makes the 100-250 yd shots feel...

They're excellent and a true pleasure to use-own. Buy a set, start practicing with them and don't look back. They develop a great patina over the years also. The ASC folks are great to work with.

Now that is impressive. Never knew they'd been produced.

All great choices, just depends what you want to spend. If you're going to lay down some serious money (north of $10K), look at Perazzi MX20's also. The entire gun will be made to your dimensions, choice of barrel length, stock finish, grade of wood, chokes etc. I'd say that and the K80/20...

You won't go wrong with a Beretta or a Browning. Try shooting them both and see which fits you best. You'll struggle if the dimensions are wrong.

That's a fine shotgun. Those British doubles are special things. That's a nice package with the included shells.

That's a fantastic piece, one of the best in the stainless professional range!

Yes, special cars are another market that can be challenging to navigate. Come down to FL to find one, they're all over the place down here.

Jomashop just posted a huge sale on Tudor if anyone is shopping the brand. Super aggressive prices.

I was in my local Orlando Rolex AD Sunday and had a wonderful experience. They happily cleaned and re-sized my wife's Datejust while we waited. Friendly, professional service and a great coffee. They also offered me the Sea Dweller 43 I had on my 3 watch wish list. (I've already found one so...

At this point in the thread(s), I just find them entertaining. You can spot their screed-like manifestos professing liberation from the shackles of time at least a mile away. Why they'd go so far out of their way to pee on other people's harmless parade is beyond me?

You're so right, LOL

The GMT's are sweet

Same here.........I just couldn't let the initial comments go.

Agreed on the 226 also, talk about a never fail workhorse. The "Made in W. Germany" stamp always makes me smile.

You have good taste! I agree, the WOE straps are excellent.

Thanks, great to have some new content for travel

Intersting take on the Tuna. Looks very well done

I just read that Melvin Forbes passed away. Sad deal. He was always great to work with in my experience. Love these rifles.

Very nice

Man, that's a first class piece!

Agreed. Don't start something you aren't willing or able to finish. This was the lesson with my son before we went on our first buffalo hunt together. No way he was going on that hunt until he was mature enough to fully grasp this lesson. (and we had a great hunt)

You're right, stick with a disposable Chinese cell phone. There's clearly no reason to enjoy a finely crafted mechanical instrument that will last many generations and serve as a wonderful reminder of your legacy for children, family, friends....

Yes, they're great rifles. Glad I bought a few when they were readily available. This is a sweet, ready to hunt rig in a great caliber

The Fieldcraft is a fantastic rifle. This is a great set-up

Gorgeous, the world needs more rifles like this one!

That's a great story and you now have one of the finest time pieces ever built. Well done!

That is a beautiful piece. Well done

They're a fantastic pre-owned buy. $4000-$4800 should get you a great example.

Not at all, that's a fantastic combo. I like quality gear that's been used honestly and maintained well. Some of my favorite guns and cars came with a lot of honest use marks, but were priced right. I can use them without the nervousness of taking a pristine piece into the wild.

Unfortunately, I don't own one. I own a pile of Randall's, but not a Loveless. This is what I'd buy:

Agreed. I always insist on an inspection and original sales paperwork going back to the AD when dealing with private sellers. Buying without due diligence is begging to get scammed. The deep fakes are so good now. I was 90% of the way into buying a preowned GMT last year. Seller (not the...

Agreed. E-Type is surely on the list along Porsche 911's, the Spitfire, Submariners, Purdey SxS game guns, Loveless drop point knives.

That's great. You can't take it with you, so wear the great watch, shoot the fine rifle etc....

Other than Rolex, buy pre-owned from a reputable dealer and you're reasonably safe financially. Easy to track how other brands (with a very few exceptions) take a big depreciation hit.

Simply, one of the finest timepieces ever offered for sale

Great looking piece!

Yes. The best sporting clays shooter I know uses an old Beretta 391 with factory tubes. 95% of targets he shoots with a Mod + #7.5s and for anything really close he pulls the tube out completely and uses #8s. Brutally effective shooter

100%, look to the Brits when it comes to traditional shotgunning questions/technique/fit.

In certain applications like turkey hunting with modern, ultra hard pellets etc or specialty waterfowl loads, the extended chokes can offer the ability to more readily fine tune patterns, no doubt. However, when it comes to standard lead target loads, lead upland loads etc....they offer nothing...

Tudor is doing some nice stuff these days.

Thank you. Yes, now I see the 28mm is a fairly recent size addition also

Joe, A stainless M-70 375 was just posted on the forum for sale. Looks like an excellent set-up with scope, mounts etc done properly. Definitely worth a look

I agree on the snowflake hand, but since buying a Pelagos, I've warmed to it. It does show-up well in low light and I kind of like the reference to classic Tudor Submariners that used the snowflake hand.

For sure. You can see it was set-up properly; rifle-optic-mounts etc. Everything you need, no fluff and no corners cut putting that together. One of the guys posting about looking for a M-70 375 needs to buy this.

Yes, that one got my attention also. Really well done. That dig on Tudor is one of the dumbest things I hear in the watch world. Tudor stands on its own as an excellent piece. That Black Bay or a Pelagos would be a great option in the Omega PO class.

Is that 28mm? Nice piece for sure
