That's an interesting gun, Greg. I googled 'hubertus' and up came saint hubertus, a saint from the dark ages, the patron saint of hunting, mathematics, opticians and metal workers. That gun is East German manufacture? Have you ever removed and inspected the locks, Greg? Back action locks? Gun looks similar to a Merkel sidelock on the insides? Pretty gun, well executed engraving. What's engraved on the other side of the action?
Socialism is almost the worst.

Ted, It's now official that your status as Marvel Action Hero "Darne Man" is now international. Maybe we can start a thread expanding the "Beware The Man Having 1 Gun" to six guns in light of our new Swedish friend. Gil

I imported them for about 15 years, Gil, and heard from people, and forwarded parts and advice, all over the world during that time. I still hear from 2-10 people a month, usually just asking questions about their guns. Eric had a problem I could help with. Sometimes, it doesn't end that way. My first task, when I got to St. Etienne, back in the day, was to type answers to a stack of English language correspondence at the plant-with a French language typewriter. No, the keyboard is NOT identicle to an English language one. None of the English language inquiries were from the US, as I recall. I could easily get by with 6 guns, Gil. I can't get by with any government official telling me I can only have 6. What, "Beware the 7th and most deadly gun"? Arbitrary, and irrational.
Best, Ted

Ted goes on and on about this gun and that gun and maybe this gun needs some exercise but all he ever uses is that 12 gauge Darne he had restocked in France.
Can't blame him though.

Not true. The last time I was out for a walk, I used this: Not a Darne. Not a 12. Not stocked to fit me. I saw three hens, had 4 3" rounds of Remington 7 1/2 shot on me, (they were given to me) and, didn't fire a shot. It was a nice walk with the dog. interestingly, the other side of the large WMA I hunted is non tox only. I didn't hunt there, but, if I had, I would have used this one: Again, not a Darne, not a 12, not stocked to fit me. A few seasons ago, I bought some 16 gauge TM, I think I have 40 rounds or so of number 6 shot, and I actually use a 16 gauge Nitro when hunting a non tox area. I don't hunt them very often. Best, Ted

Hey all, well had to work today so had a short time for hunting after. It was a short hunt, thanks Daylight Savings!!!!! Saw quite a few birds, but they were spooky today. Oh well each day is different. Raina did well today. Would have lost this bird without her. Anyway, I used my 12b Coggie Konor Best, Greg

Hey all, well this weekend was our Deer Gun Opener, my son Jim, daughter Liz and myself all drew Doe tags. Opening day was windy as all get out (25 to 30 mph), but I was lucky and tagged out at 4pm. The rest of the weekend was great weather. Jim wasn't able to fill until Saturday and Liz still has to fill hers. Still have two weeks. Hope she can fill hers. Myself and my doe (nothing huge, but average) I used my Old Style Ruger M77RSI in 7mm-08 Jim and his deer (a button buck) he used his Browning A-Bolt in .25WSSM. He made a great shot on his, 260 yards! I did bring a shotgun with and hunted birds while the kids were trying to fill there tags. I limited out and used my daughters 12ga Zabala Brittany. Jim carried the shotgun today, but nothing in the bag. Jim and Liz Great weekend overall. Sure did enjoy my hunting partners, best in the world! Best, Greg

Nothing congruent here, poodle, cockbird, 28, and tennis shoes.... We were out for what was effectively adding up to be merely an 'armed walk" when two cocks literally flew over our heads from behind some cover. This one flared instead of turning on the afterburners and I hit it in the head with a load of #9s.
