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;

Yes, thats right! You might find that leaving the scars and scatches brings back memories and that you end up leaving them. JPK  Free 500grains |

| I like to hunt with them all, no safe queens in my house. They look better after a few bumps, bruises and a bit of honest wear. That really is a classy appearing rifle, now go get it dusty and kill something with it.

| Phoenix,
Beautiful rifle. Sure is too bad that it is in a totally inadequate caliber. If you want to get rid of it because of this failing, please PM me. LOL Kudude |

Does she shoot as good as she looks? Very nicely done. Now, will you drag it thru the thorns, dirt & dust of Africa?
