Folks

I'd post pices of my safari rifles but I believe the images would cause mass vomiting after looking at the lovely rifles other folks have shown here.

Rodent chewed platic stocks, teflon finish with shiny worn spots, deep scratches, dented scopes, no fancy open sights and the worst of all duct tape to hold the magazine secure. If that wouldn't make a traditionalist barf I don't know what would. Yikes!!!

I usually take 3 guns since my son goes with me. Here are two of them. The first pic is of my .470. I didn't take the pic as the guy that did set ups a better pic than I do.




As a change of pace with a shot from the plains, this second pic is of my .300WM (left) and my PH's (right).

A few of mine...


My Davenport .375 H&H.




My Davenport .416 Remington Magnum.




Ol' reliable... my .416 Rigby.




Custom stocked #1 in 9.3x74.




And just in case you think I have something against plastic... my .458 Lott.


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!

Got my new Searcy Classic at Reno from Butch, its a 450-400-3"..sold my .470 Searcy..

My new gun looks just like Judge Gs, above.....Mine shoots one inch at 75 yards every darn time with factory Hornadys, hope it will work with my warmer handloads, but it will.

Well, I for one am NOT impressed with the wood on that AK47 at all. Very poor in my opinion.

Beautiful rifles all around. clap

Here's one I picked up from a good friend this week. Some of you will recognize this .500 Jeffery. The 2nd photo is to give respect to the guy who made it and used it first. thumb

All I can say is WOW! clap

Here is my Browning Safari .375H&H, it has not drawn African game blood yet. Shooting for 2010!


The other rifle will be my Husqvrana .30-06



This rifle was used by my grandfather (Mom's), given to my father who has passed it onto me. It has to go, it is my go too rifle. No matter what I am hunting for, it goes!

Jason, I LIKE those Browning's in 375! Why no one makes that exact rifle any more is beyond me. Closest thing to it, and it's a far cry, is a Zastava clone, but by the time you're done, might as well wait and find an old FN Browning. Newer M70's are TOO big.

His first confirmed kill. It used to be a prairie dog.

I have posted these photos here before but here it is one more time. This is my first custom rifle and LeRoy and Connie Barry did an incredible job! It is my .458 Lott RSM.
It may go to Namibia with me this July. Not only does it look good but it shoots great!!

Checkering is spear points and lions tails. The perfect Buff killing theme.





First kill with it. Still in the factory stock.
