.22-250 Remington - Mostly Long Guns

The Practicality Of Aesthetics
It is a well-known fact among gun collectors that a fine gun from years ago is more likely to come down to us in good condition than a cheap gun from the same era.

Takedown Rifles
When first considering take-down rifles, my thought was, Why? To me, the concept just seemed a way to introduce a possible lack of precision into a rifle. As is usually the case, when something is viewed without experience, initial attitudes are wrong. My first two experiences with takedowns proved that.

Haenel - Mannlicher 9 X 57 Mauser
Long ago, the Sears-Roebuck catalog was the original wish book, and in those halcyon days before the Great War, the catalog carried page after page of guns – long guns, short guns, rifles, shotguns, handguns – American made and imports of just about every description. Between 1905, roughly, and 1914, one of the most expensive rifles found in the Sears catalog was known, variously, as the Haenel-Mannlicher or simply the C.G. Haenel (pronounced HY-nul). It was a bolt-action sporter imported from Germany. It cost half as much again as a Winchester ’86, and it was the rifle to carry if you had pretentions to style.

.25-35 WCF Field Testing Hornady's New Bullets and Loads
The buck antelope stood up and was not going to let me stalk any closer, so at 195 yards, I eased into a sitting position with elbows resting between my knees, clutching a Winchester Model 1894 lever-action .25-35 WCF rifle that was 110 years old and equipped with vintage aperture sights.
