Craig has written an article for the March Guns&Ammo mag covering Papa's WR .577, Fletcher Jamieson's .500 Jeffery and a couple of Selous's rifles. It's not a re-hash of known material. They take a couple of buff in Moz (one with a .256 and yes it was legal). Good stuff. Thank you, Col. | ||

Those fine rifles live just down the road from me. Reckon why they never come for a visit? Will J. Parks, III | |||

I very seldom buy a gun rag off the stand, but I'll buy that one! .............................................  ....Mac >>>===(x)===> MacD37, ...and DUGABOY1 DRSS Charter member "If I die today, I've had a life well spent, for I've been to see the Elephant, and smelled the smoke of Africa!"~ME 1982 Hands of Old Elmer Keith  | |||

The owner brought a few of those pieces to the AHG Show in Atlanta and had them displayed at Craig's booth. I saw, but did not handle them. If they could only talk! 30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking. | |||

my guess is that they are afraid they will never leave   | |||

The .256 is better known as the 6.5×54mm Mannlicher-Schönauer. It has killed everything on the planet. http://www.rathcoombe.net/sci-...ssic_mannlicher.html | |||

That was a pretty good article. Owner is a guy out of Birmingham. I think he is on CB's DVD on african rifles too. Hunting: Exercising dominion over creation at 2800 fps. | |||
