I did a bit of gun shop hopping while touring Anchorage while queing up for Cal's Double Shoot-here are a few of my observations for your interest-
Walter Earl's Antique Gallery, Gun Room-
*Searcy Sidelock 470NE nice engraving $9900
*New and apparently unfired George Hoenig round action o/u 20 gauge 3", cased and all papers, $21K....I am thinking a set of 375 Flanged or 450-400 3" would be a nice addition to this beautiful piece!! Today this would be a $29K+ price tag and good long wait!!
Jim West's Wild West Guns-
*Nice 500NE Hambrusch of Ferlach, BL double, $25K Late rifle looked new!
*Nice 577NE Hambrusch of Ferlach, BL Double, $25K Also late rifle and looked new!
*Not a Double, But Frank Barnes personal pre-war Winchester Model 70 Custom in 375 Barnes Improved, dies, info book and photograph of him in the field with rifle. $6600
Great Northern Guns
* Nice old German 12 ga shotgun converted to a 45-70 double, double triggers, looked well done. $4500.

Cal's Double Rifle shoot is a real Hoot, great display of beautiful British doubles, lots of ammo to shoot, nice guys/gals and good food, good weather too....made a great trip along with the Great Alaskan Aviation Gathering the previous weekend...and some good touring around with my wife....Alaska is just a fun and beautiful place to visit!!

Cheers,

Thanks for the accolades, but in all honesty it is everybody's shoot. While I make arrangements, Rob reserves the range and does that paperwork, 6-8 fellas chip in for food and drink.
Glad you enjoyed it and you 9and everyone else) is welcome to the next one. Date to be announced soon.
Cal

Kudos to the guys who take their time and energy to create this event.

Biebs: Join us someday. Stay at my place to avoid hotel charges. It will be my pleasure.
Cal
PS. You will feel comfortable here as my home (and the shooting range) has a transgender bathroom.

Sorry I hd to miss this year's shoot but I still have a couple of hunters in the field sorting through brown bears. Both of the bears taken so far will make B&C and since we have been seeing lots of big boars hopefully the last two will be just as successful.

GOOD LUCK out there Phil!!

Watch out for F&W TROOPERS, they are WORSE than Brown Bears these days!!

Cheers,
