I had a great time this year, it was probably just my mood, but what ever the case i really had the most fun of all the SCI shows I have ever been too, and I'm not going to hunt this year, I cant my back is still a mess, I had to call off last years hunt 10 days into it because of the backache, i have had 2 operations since but I know for sure i wont be fit enough to hunt this year, Did I mention I bought a 3" 500 Nitro flanged case boxlock Double with enjectors at SCI this year? I cant remember the brand right now I just know the gun pointed real good and the length of pull was perfect, its a working gun, brand new engraved nothing to sexy but it will be a great starter double gun, soon as I get it, i'mm post the maker I know its in the UK.

I'm leaving for Hawaii with Alan Vincent (my PH/best friend) for a few days of nice weather and no work.

Its pathetic I cant remember the maker of the gun, its a working gun but just boarderline a little nicet or side lock and then I would be reluctant to take it hunting, but I WILL shoot a pile of elephants with this gun.

Hope you have a good time in Hawaai and make sure you dont hurt youre back anymore than needed.

Have a great trip and hope you get to feeling better. Have you told your "back Doctor" about the 500 Nitro? Maybe a back brace while shooting it would be good? Later

Reno 2007 was a massive hit and we had the best show ever, I to purchased a .500 from Blazer USA ( rifle also still in Germany ) - ( if you read the double rifle forum you will read why I had to purchase a second double rifle ) this is a awesome elephant calibre and you will have great success with a great calibre, a good friend supplied me with 40 rounds of ammo from Superior ( they live up to their name ) with bulletts by Barnes XXX and sledgehammer solids.
Good hunting
