Paul, you need not be jealous. The wood on your "bespoke" V-C .600 makes me want to throw rocks at mine. Wink

Seeing the 500 along with the 577 makes me want to buy that V-C 450-400 that's for sale in the Classified section. beer


Were I not trying to pinch as many pennies as possible for my Great Caprivi/Sobbe Elephant Adventure with Pops I'd be all over it and taking photos like those above. beer

I have to get me a zebra skin as a background for photos. Cool

Hey Ozhunter,

Glad you bumped that up - well worth drooling over Don's Verney-Carron doubles again particularly the 500 in its place of honor the elephant Don took. beer

Beautiful Ozhunter, it is coming along and it beautiful.

The Verney-Carron family do great work.

Looking forward to seeing the finished double and a target showing its functional beauty as well.

Best of luck and congratulations,

Paul

Adam,
They nailed the stock on yours and your specs are perfect. Looks outstanding and just wish you could have it for Mozambique. Count me jealous!

Was due for the end of this month (8 or 9 months) but due to Safari dates being so close, I've asked them to hold off until August.

Damn Adam, it's a tough life! Hate it when the safari dates are so close! Roll Eyes Big Grin Wink

As I oftentimes say, if you're looking for sympathy, you came to the wrong f****in place. Wink

I'm happy for you "mate"! beer

The VC's are wonderful rifles. I love my .470. Ozhunter will be thrilled when he receives his.
