Bulldog,

Still on track for the Heym. The only reason I wanted to see the G&H was because more than a few people said I should check it out, given Thys made the rifle. If I was totally bowled over by the rifle and the service, I may have been tempted to stray. Based on my experience, I am not tempted in the least.

I feel that Marcel making rifles in his own name is one thing - making rifles for someone else is quite another thing. The difference between being an employee and an owner. I am sure that the G&H Thys doubles are great rifles, but the G&H price is substantially higher than the Heym.

I am looking for a shooter from a company that stands behind its product. I don't care about engraving; just a nice piece of wood. I have an older Simson Suhl 12 gauge that fits that description, and the Germans tend to over engineer everything. I'll take a no-makeup-precision-machined-tough-accurate-as-hell-beast-buster any day.

In the field, reputation matters not. A battle brings amazing clarity of mind, and in the threatning shit storm that lasts seconds. When you are into the weeds that deep, slow motion develops for those "in the zone". Live or die is a pretty powerful situation.

Pretty gets in your way.

10 more days!
