MANY THANKS JIM MANION !!

TOM ONDRUS

Great read, thanks for sharing.

Yes, thanks. I really must catch up on my reading of African Hunter. I had not read that one, else I would have remembered:

Searcy's first double was an O/U 300H&H built on a Ruger Redlabel 20g shotgun. (Gee, I have one of his early Redlabels in .338WinMag.)

Butch thought out the stainless double rifle in a conversation with Ross Seyfried.

And, IIRC, the 600 Nitro never got fired at a dinosaur in the movie, because a greenie slob swiped the cartridges. (What a shameful script.)

Oops. The really amazing thing was that Searcy used a mechanical rest to regulate the 600 ... and the Simson firm in 1930's Germany had a similar contraption, calling it "iron shoulders" or some such whimpishness.

This article actually appeared in HATARI TIMES MAGAZINE of African Hunting and big bore rifles.

i don't know how it got listed under Arfican Hunter . both are great magazines
