Chris,
I thought I told you I wanted the elephant on the bottom. I guess you'll just have to sell it to some other guy now.

You can borrow money, but you can't borrow time. Don't wait, go now.

That would really put Chris in a bind, it could take him several minutes to find somebody to take that ugly thing off his hands.

Congrats on a beautiful rifle.

Both doubles are very nice.

The Heym 450/400's handle and shoot great as well.

Both elephant scene enravings are realistic and nicely done.

If I could afford it I think I would go with three eles, and in a real elephant caliber.

N E 450 No2

Actually I prefer scroll engraving to animals....
But seeing as I have killed a cape buff, a lion, and a bull elephant with a 450/400, that double would do me just fine.

They say that Zimbabwe and Botswana have around 67 Thousand too many elephants EACH.

I would not be afraid to take the cull contract for BOTH countries and use a 450/400 for the job.

OH, I would probably want to shoot a few with a revolver, just 'cause I was there.

Damn, Chris, you keep tempting me with those things, and this one just about got me! That is a beautiful rifle!

Of the two I perfere the deep chisel to the Bolino of the second one posted here, but I certainly wouldn't turn either down!
