Ladies and Gentlemen,

Harry (aka Mims) asked me to post this for him.



This new rifle was built by Sterling Davenport for P.H. George Hoffman to use on his last safari. Unfortunately George died before the rifle was finished and before the scheduled safari in Tanzania. The action is the all new Montana 1999 control round feed action with Shilen bbl. and in caliber 416 Hoffman.

This rifle will be auctioned off at the Dallas Safari Club banquet in Jan. and I hope you have a chance to bid on this beautiful and fine rifle.

It has all the features found on a dangerous game rifle. The winning bidder will get scope, cartridge box, original PH licenses, custom knife with George's name inscribed on it.

Also included is the #416 book "A Country Boy in Africa" written by George, along with various notes from Mary Hoffman.

Proceeds will go to Mary Hoffman and Dallas Safari Club youth activities.

Merry Christmas,

Mims Reed

What a great looking rifle! George's personal items realy make the auction special. I hope the bids are high! Still it's very sad that Mr Hoffman is no longer with us.....

Dave,



A tragedy indeed. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Hoffman a couple of times at the Dallas Safari Show.



A true gentleman - they don't make them like him anymore.



Regards,



Terry

It will be nice to see the rifle in Dallas. Thanks for posting the pic.
