IN THE AUGUST ISSUE OF AMERICAN RIFLEMAN THERE IS A QUOTE BY HARRY SELBY (ROBERT RUARKS PH ) ABOUT THIS 450/400 CALIBER. I QUOTE "IT IS AN EXCELLENT CHOICE FOR ANY LADY HUNTER WHO MIGHT HANKER AFTER A DOUBLE RIFLE." NUF SAID | ||

After reading the resurrected Capstick and 45-70 threads maybe we can start a new Cindy G thread. I think she comes with a double. Tom, I would dress like a woman just to have the opportunity to shoot that rifle. Anybody have any size 14 heels? | |||

I think that is very chivalrous of Mr. Selby, and I agree. We had less than 25-yards of follow-up on these two, and I can understand him thinking it would be rude to put a lady through an unnecessarily long walk.   It's not as much about what you hit them with as where it is you hit them.  | |||

Damn straight! Then we'd be a 450/400 double couple! I guess when RCR gave Mark Selby that Jeffery in 450/400 he was in fact calling Mark a "Sissy Boy"? Rusty We Band of Brothers!

My wife used a 450/400 3 1/4" double for her cape buff. One shot one kill. I shot a cape buff, a lion, and a bull elephant with it as well. I still felt "Manly" using it.  DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

He's right it is a fine choice for a ladies double. That doesn't make it a poor choice for a man. | |||

Tom, Harry obviously came to that conclusion after seeing the picture of you from your youth toting a 450/400 while wearing your open toed Pondoro pumps with matching rainbow safari ensemble from the John Taylor collection. Do you still have that outfit? SCI Life Member DSC Life Member | |||

You wish. Any 450/400 is always striving to be a real double. ------------------------------- Will / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

Quite the retort coming from a guy who luxuriates in a pre-safari pedicure to allow him to hunt in birkenstocks. Chapter 11 from Will's book: "Pretty Feet in the Long Grass"... SCI Life Member DSC Life Member | |||

There probably isn't a better double rifle for a woman. Where else can you find a double rifle throwing 400 grains down range that won't kick the shit out of you? Like N E 450 #2 said, his wfe shoot a 450/400 and I've seen her shoot it. Awesome! Yep I'd have to agree with the Harry! Rusty We Band of Brothers!
