..one injectionsmolded rifle of 2020 and a handcrafted rifle of the 1880s Blaser K95 in 7x65R and a Cogswell & Harrison.500ex I like to have the Blaser. Its handy, light and supposed to be very accurate(Haven`t shot it yet). I don`t think I`ll ever take a boltgun again for generel hunting. I`ll take the Cogswell before a boltgun too. |

Two different worlds on the one hand - as you mentioned it, but also two complementary ones on the other hand as modernity always digs its roots into tradition! And your comment about stalking with single-shot rifles is shared. Louis |

Yes, I agree. There certainly is a definite charm to a single shot, open sighted rifle as a gun for stalking big game. |

Very nice Cogswell & Harrison. The charm of real craftsmanship in wood and steel. A modern single shot......in my case a Ruger No.1 in .338 Mag, is my longer range alternative here in the Mountain West. - Mike |

I was packing my Ruger #1 until my daughter and I walked into a grizzly's living room. Huge packed down bed with piles of bear crap all the way around it like turrets on a castle and the weeds and undergrowth packed down. It was REALLY eerie. That was the last time I packed that .218 Bee while out hunting deer. |
