Thread: 303 Double Rifle and what whiskey ?

He's mentioned it more often recently and said we should sit down and make a plan

Now I have my recently repaired and shooting well Remington rolling block no.5 303 to take and shoot with him
I'm sure it will get things off to a good start

But I think I should also take a decent bottle of whiskey for when we start the dance on the 303 double rifle

Now I like whiskey a lot and used to get given bottles pretty often prior to retiring late last year
I've run out myself
And to be honest haven't brought a bottle myself for 20 years despite getting through a couple of bottles a year
Pretty bad that I just drink what's there !

So what should I buy for this particular task ??

Cheers

You also have to look the part. Allow me please to guide you, son.

Jodhpurs, leather boots, deerstalker hat, matching tweed jacket and monocle. A fob watch but no pretentious watch gold chain -- some khaki lanyard will do for that, just to make a deliberate understatement and show you have old money.

Say, have you time to grow some lamb chops?

And remember at all times, he is not so much interested in money as in knowing his beloved goes to a good worthy and most appreciative home.
