Mr Petrov,

I've been an occassional lurker on your site. I love the double gun and grew up with a Stoger Zephyr Uplander hunting quail in Louisana but, at heart, I really love the fine single shot and bolt action rifle. I gravitate toward the older, classic makers and prefer Springfields and 98 Mausers to almost anything made since 1964 (there are exceptions of course), fine single shot rifles mostly with black powder cartridges, and military breech loaders from the black powder era. These rifles all have a history and character that is just lacking today. I also love all the accouterments of the era - sights, ammunition and components, furnishings, loading gear, etc.

No plastic, no chrome, no stainless steel, no epoxy finish, no telescope the size of an astronomical instrument, no latest super magnum.
