Ladies and Gentlemen,

Those are some nice rifles T.Carr!! I like your caliber selection for a Tanzania safari. How many days,with who, and what will you be hunting?

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.

Terry-
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.
