Introducing the April Issue

Welcome to The Vintage Gun Journal, your free-to-view monthly magazine for all things British gun and rifle.

April arrives in Shropshire a good deal colder than much of early March. The motorcycle is currently getting very little attention.

I have been out for a successful fallow stalk this week, using my T.T. Proctor 7x57 and grassing a quality prickett, which is about to go into the freezer. I have yet to blood the Rigby .275 I bought to use when a supressed rifle is preferred.

The Stalking Show will be something to look forward to in mid-April, as will Holt's auction. I shall be at both.

As always, thank you for reading the VGJ .
