Whheeeet-whooooo. (or however you phonetically describe a whistle)

Very nice Terry. You obviously take the phrase "Life is too short to hunt with an ugly gun" very seriously.

Gorgeous rifles. I hope they are lucky for you in Tanzania!

Terry:

What a beautiful pair of rifles.

Would have made ol' Jack O'Connor proud, eh?

Good luck in Tanz.

Yikes!

Terry, those are lovely rifles! I've loved Biesen rifles ever since I was a boy reading Jack O'Connor hunting stories, and I love them to this day. You have a lifetime hunting battery in those two beauties.

Are you going to have Roger do up a .30-06, 7mm Rem. Mag., or a .300 of some kind to round things out?

Allen,

As soon as I convince Carol of the need ("How many guns do you need?" she asks. I reply, "How many shoes do you need?") I am thinking about a .300 Win Mag.

Regards,

Terry

A 300 would be nice, after all you deserve it. Tell the war dept. that it's mine and your just holding it for me.

T.Carr,
Hey! I understand the the cartridge choices for these rifles very well. The perfect two rifle safari battery. They ain't bad looking either.

I've made arrangements with Luke for these rifles to disappear. They will miraclously reappear just as I arrive in TZ.

Forrest,

Did you book with Luke this year?

Luke is guiding the elephant hunting for S&S in Botswana. See the link below.

Terry, I'm booked with Ridge Taylor for 2003 and we are trying to borrow Luke from S&S to help us out. If DeBeers will ever give us the final approval, I'll be doing a management hunt with Ronnie Blackbeard late this year in Bots.
