wombatWhy are you selling it?
Australia
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of drought and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror
The wide brown land for me!

PeterOK I'll buy. What's a GW?
Peter.
Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

AtkinsonI am selling it because I am going to make one more trip to Africa and then confine my hunting to Mule Deer and Whitetail, birds etc in the USA, that long flight gets worse every year on old bones that need to be moveing around...
I ordered one of Butches beautiful little single shots in .375 H&H and that should surfice for all my future needs..It'll be my elk gun.
I also intend to concentrate on my roping, its good exercise and loads of fun, and keeps me close to my grandkids...
Don't figure I need a $16,000 rifle sitting in the gun closet just to show to my friends. As much as I like this gun, I just no longer have a use for it..
The worst part is that its the best shooting double I have ever owned and I have owned some really exceptional shooting doubles. I love accurate doubles, I might want to poke something in the eye!

Pete,
GW = Gun Whore, a malady of which I have suffered for many years, to the point of infamy!
