That's the kind of shooting I would enjoy the most...being able to work on the same presentation for awhile and then switch it up.

Dr. Drew: In 1900 what was the "repeater" offering from Winchester?
Thanks

???????? Wrong thread, maybe?

Best, SRH

No problemo, we can answer that question. The Model 1893 was followed by improved version called Model 1897. According to what I read that was darling of market hunters of that period. Short-barrel versions are still being made in PRC for Cowboy Action Shooters aka SASS shooters.

these guys are great to deal with and handle EVERYTHING. they have lots of different trips, can schedule guides for city tours, etc..

What I failed to mention was that D. Krieghoff has recently shot @ Jorge's facility(Bolivian Adventures) & Jorge has secured a purchase of some Krieghoff's, O/U in 20 bore I believe for rental. One amusing item was that D. Krieghoff stayed a stint @ Jorge's fishing camp and thought it to be too remote & too native?

It looks like Luis Sier is wanting us to reroute our trip from Cordoba to Mendoza, which I'm feeling really good about. Luis says the dove numbers are not up to snuff (my terminology) in Cordoba this year. I'm really okay with that, because in Mendoza there are opportunities for other species on the same trip, including pigeons, ducks, perdiz and red stag.

When your outfitter calls personally from Argentina to talk to you, about issues like this, you have a pretty good feeling he is busting his chops to help you plan the best trip possible. Luis has always bent over backwards to offer everything he could to us to make the trip better. It was terribly saddening to us all when we learned of the loss of his lovely wife, a few years ago. She was such a beautiful and gracious lady.

Stan, those stags running past a hide, hundreds at a time, might be more than we are ready for. Do they provide a loader for stag shooting?

Stan, that is impressive customer service. I wonder what not up to snuff means on dove numbers? That's the first time I have heard of a Cordoba operation shifting clients to another location.

8bore:

I've seen several tied to trees. They have a terrible attitude.
