RUSSIA: Kamchatka Brown Bear
While my dad and I were getting the taxidermy done from our 2019 South Africa trip, we noticed that that Yuri, the taxidermist, had a lot of hunting pictures on his wall of large brown bears. A Russian native, Yuri told us that he took clients on hunts in Kamchatka from time to time.
My dad kept in contact with him, and last year Yuri told him that a client had canceled his hunt, forfeiting their deposit, and that we could take the hunt at a much-reduced price. Prices for Alaskan bears and...

Looking for an 1895 Winchester for a project
I’m thinking about picking up an 1895 Winchester. I’d like to either find an original in 30-40 Krag with a barrel that has seen better days or a reproduction in 405 Winchester. If I end up with a 30-40 Krag, I’m going to rebore the barrel to 405. I’m ok with cash or trade. I have a lot of really interesting trade items at the moment.
Give me a shout if you have an 1895 you would part with.
Thanks,
