Anyone care to mention the most memorable or their favourite articles in the Double Gun Journal over the last three decades.

My interests lie mostly with doubles: Berettas, AYAs, AH Fox gun.

Pleas let me know if there were any special stories that come to mind.

Cheers.

( Yes, I bought the whole collection for reference )

Also, has anyone spoke with Ian Nixon lately?

Rigby's Last Rooster is the best piece he's ever written, IMO, that I have read. He chronicled Rigby's (his Lab) last days, and how he took him out for one last pheasant hunt in his old age. Carefully planned, he even described the decision process whereby he chose the right gun to take and use.

Seyfried is extremely knowledgeable about guns in general, and especially black powder era rifles and shotguns, but his ability to draw you into his world as he writes about a hunt is exceptional. He is one of my favorite gun writers of all time.

Interesting Stan, Seyfried 'talked' me into subscribing to the DGJ way back in volume II when he wrote a piece about the start up magazine in one of the big name gun magazines. I don't know why, but I recall his miniature Fraser rifle project.

It easy to forget all the nooks and crannies that the DGJ has visited. Maybe, flip through the index readers for ideas or just pull an issue out of middle and start there.

Being a "Hemingway devote par excellence" I went for the article on the "French 75"-- Makes me appreciate the gun and its history, details of Hemingway's tour as a "correspondent" and his friendship with Col. "Buck" Lantham, and the whole Allied war effort--RWTF

If Oscar Gaddy wrote it, I consider it to be on stone tablets.

I really like the "Finding Out For My Self" series by Sherman Bell. The loading data for the short 10 was worth the price of admission. Too bad IMR stopped making most of the powders used but I have a stockpile and should be good for a while.

I always appreciated Seyfried's work. I think he's carried DGJ for some time now. For utility, his articles on loading for double rifles and Sherman Bell's on both rifles and shotguns are hands down the best material there for my purposes. The photography has always been a strong point, and I suspect that it's good because there are so many talented amateurs contributing.

Bill, I cant understand a thing youre writing. Just kidding, I like that long running Bell series on British guns and sporting rifles too. Its like a box of chocolates, but better, kind of scary how long its been going.
