You are killing me Adam... beautiful set of .425's! One an original and the second a neat custom... On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

Ozhunter Your 425 is beautiful! I really like the wood on the original stock. It has that simple, well used look. But that barrel..... I looked at it about 25 times the last time you posted photos and I have not tired of looking at it. That is one sweet piece of steel. Thanks for sharing.

Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

I don't know if this really fits the bill- but an american representative: 1947 Griffin and Howe .375H&H, built new and bought restocked from G&H in 1947 with a 1946 cloverleaf tang model 70 action.  [/IMG]And doing what it was born to do  [/IMG] | |||

I suspect you are referring to bolt guns - Mausers specifically. Here are a few of my own: How about this 425 Westley  William Evans 404   George Gibbs Magnum Mauser in 280 Ross  Mahillon 416 Rigby  W.J. Jeffery 333  | |||

CZ Brno 602 in .375 H&H, artfully rigged for PAC hippo at night, with a custom stock job to get rid of the hogback (grade A1 Ugandan mahogany insert cut from a piece of construction timber, luxury Carnauba Car Wax finish).  A classic rifle in a classic caliber...  Philip | |||

its an east african eland from the selous I have a couple more pics somewhere. I'll post them on the hunt reports forum so we don't hijack this thread. Is it a big one? He was a fighting bugger- his eyelid was ripped off, and his tail was gone but he tasted great! | |||
