Not a Linebaugh, but I have a friend, a petite lady who lives in AK, that hunts bears with pistols. She has taken five, with perfect success. She will not shoot one at more than 20 yards. She graduated from a .44 Magnum to a .454 Casull, and now uses a .500 S & W. She is an amazing lady.


May God bless America and those who defend her.

Right now, I can't imagine anything preempting my Cashmore Paragon. But who knows what will cross my path yet?

My guns are like friends in that when I find a new one or go somewhere with an old one, I am expecting to have a good time. Even if at the end I'm soaked in sweat and covered with burrs and blood.

Well, you know what assumptions will get you.

Lloyd, my post was half tongue in cheek. I'm way to busy looking forward to life and all the great things still to enjoy and look forward to, to worry about what I hope will be a quick downward slide. Hell, send the right woman my way and I'd have another kid!

Gutsy, dude. I wouldn’t try that. Might just be my experience, but, “Right Woman” is a moving target.

I digress.

Best,
Ted

I DID say “right” woman. Hahaha. They are hard to come by and worth treasuring when you find one. I’m not holding my breath.

I can’t be with a woman who can shoot a bigger gun than me.

James is looking, not holding his breath. A match made on doublegun?

Best,
Ted

Not sure I like the premise mainly because only one gun is beyond me. I will make an odd stab anyway.

I don’t count inherited family guns.

I could only imagine (not likely to happen) cutting down my collection to four guns. A 12ga Boss SLE, 16ga Purdey SLE, 16ga Christophe SLE, 24ga French BLNE.

Lastly, I don’t see cutting down anytime soon, other than to finance other options. I like all the guns I have, or I would not have them.

I can understand that Ted, and we may not be alone. This lady has never married, guides hunters for moose and bear, and spends over a week in the bush alone when she hunts for herself.

Married or not, she's one amazing lady, this Brenda Crim.

Steve,

An outstanding pinfire. Or is it a converted pinfire? Not sure from the angle provided but it would appear the hammers have been changed or modified.

I'm thinking my last gun should be a 36cal. smooth bore single barrel fowler with a flint lock.

Little Fox Sterlingworth 20 gauge ejector, upgraded to an AE made to fit me with custom wood. Choked .004 and .014. 5 lb 13 oz. Might have it laid beside me in the box along with a bunch of dog ashes. Maybe a fired shell or two.
