Scottish built Ogilvie 8 Bore/.835 cal rifled Damascus black powder big/dangerous game rifle from 1860-70s!

This awesome rifle was built by the prominent Scottish gun making family, the Ogilvies in approx 1865-1870-ish for a prominent family member who held a few titles thru out his life mostly in Canada/Yukon territories, William Ogilvie. He was a surveyor and was all over the AK and Yukon territories back in the later 1800s and hunted while on these surveying missions. This rifle was built by the family of his father who was a Scottish immigrant (his mother was an Irish immigrant). He was...

What four calibres would you choose

I'm from the great state of NSW Australia and in their wisdom the government of said state wants to limit the average licenced shooter to a limit of four calibres.
I'm not entirely sure if that includes rimfire and shotguns, for this exercise we will only limit to centre fire.

Trophy Room/Home Office in Mississippi

Hi Everyone,

I've been on the forum looking at trophy room pics for years...and I'm finally getting started on my own. I have more questions than I imagined, so I thought I would ask the collective wisdom of the group.

The backstory: I need space to work from home, shop space, plus a little room to park a fifth wheel. My wife couldn't quite "see" it, so I had someone online sketch some 3D plans (attached). My main office/trophy room space is 32 feet wide by 60 feet long. I'll have a...
