Many of you may be familiar with American breech-loaders (BL) such as Sharps, Winchester, Remington, etc.. But, there are other BL from across the Atlantic that are fantastic. This is our 17th year of getting together, visiting, looking and discussing and YES shooting these British Rifles of the late 19th century. Makers such as Alex Henry, Holland Holland, Daniel Frazer, Gibbs-Farquharson, James Purdey, John Dickson, etc.. Basically, all the British best as they're called.
This past weekend was this years event and the first for the German rifles..
Thought I'd share what's out there as all of us have Friendship to thank as that's the connection to all of us.

My Son is really into more historic arms, mostly Mil-Surps. We have a few with likely more on the way, mostly bolt actions, pre WW-2
