Info on the Double Rifle Shooters Society

It's quite informal and easy going. My experience has been that guys

who DON'T own doubles are treated just the same as guys who DO own

doubles. I don't as yet own one, but that might change on any given day!
UPDATE! I HAVE PURCHASED MY FIRST D/R, A VINTAGE 450/400 BY C. OSBORNE!

Basically you have to own a double rifle to be a member, or not own one but want to, or not want to own one but want to shoot one, or not want to shoot one but want to hang out with a bunch of dudes that do or don't do one or more of the above, or not. Now that's been cleared up can someone please explain it to me. If you want to be a member then welcome aboard.

Damn! I'm almost afraid to post here, for

fear of starting another

contest!

Don't let my judge, and jury of one, court martial, issued demotion in rank, in the gentlemen's club deter you from becomig a valued member of the DRSS! It is easy to avoid contact with me, by simply skipping anything I post here. This also applies to the DRSS hunts! All one has to do is not engage me at all in any conversation, and simply ignore me all together. If my presence is a problem, I'll be happy to back out, I have no problem with that at all! A simple PM will do the trick.

When a person finds he can't get along with anyone, then the place to look, for the problem, is in the mirror. SO! If there is a problem with me here , that is my problem, nobody elses, and I'll simply move on!

I think we should have a meet and then we can sort it all out

. I for one am looking forward to a get together so that I may attend and I don't have a problem with any one here. I want to shoot a pig with my double

, since I will not be able to go to Africa to hunt.

If they let me in they will let anyone in.I got to tell you these guy's are a bad influence.
In june of 06 I got a tika 512 in 9.3x74, then a merkel in 470 after the first of the year and a 9.3x74 chapris in june. They are a nice bunch of guys but a bad bad influence (thats my story and I am sticking to it.) Mac don't let the jerks ruin your fun. a sad fact of life is after retirement one of the few pleasure a man can aford is being cranky. Let her fly.

Contact "Mike Davis" here on AR. That's his handle. He found the current supplier we have used in the past, but I heard rumors that they are not doing it any longer. Mike will know - he's a damn fine guy too.

Mullhollands in Fort Worth has the only artwork for the DRSS shirts and caps. They have the caps in stock but if you want a shirt, it must be new-unworn for them to apply the embroidery. PM me and I will help you get what you want.

OK once again I'll explain how to become a DRSS member.

Simply send me a certified check for the initiation fee of a $75,000.00 USD. In return you will receive a pure plastic clad membership statue of the fearless M'bigbogga hunter Francis Cordially Sellus. In addition you will receive a twice yearly update letter with pictures of me with real life dead critters shot with a real life double rifle.

What could be more rewarding and easier than simply sending the money?

Not only will you be a member of an exclusive club, but think of the joy your mere $6,250 a month will bring me in the hunting fields of Africa.

Don't delay I am counting on your money.

Hi roman
The night vision scope did not throw off the regulation of the rifle. Those scopes are heavy?

Thank you, colleagues! I am surprised that you are so friendly.
J D, regulation is all right. They weigh about 2.2 pounds.

I'm sorry to hear that reloading ammunition is difficult in your country. I hope it hasn't been too difficult for you to find the best load that shoots well in your rifle.

You have some nice trophies with that gun!

If there are a lot of Russians visiting AR, you need to tell them to post!!!! I for one would love to learn about hunting adventures in your country!!!

That sounds fine, but what about one or two of the shoots in Oklahoma so they don't have to do all the driveing! Maybe one on OAK City,or Enid, and another in Tulsa! Enid would be good so we could visit Champlin's while there.

I hunt a lot, but it is difficult for me to write a good report in English. We talk in Russian forum such as AR.

Same in English, Laika. There are a few of them; Nenets, Karelian, etc... These look to be West Siberian Laika, the biggest and the toughest of the lot I think.

Roman please tell us more about the hunting in Russia.

Does the state set a side land, for the common man to access, or do you have to have your own property?

Are you able to lease land for hunting?

Is it likely that the average city person,
could one day decide to take up hunting of some sort,(small game or big game) could he do it.

You have a very nice firearm collection, can any one own fire arms.
