I believe Ivan Carter does - he often posts in the African Big Game Forum
- Mark Sullivan - who has posted a couple of times in the above mentioned forum
- generalwar

I'm certain there are more (and there are a few of whom I know but they prefer to not make it general knowledge)

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.
-Seth Peterson

Deo Vindice,

Gents:
Keep up the info as I will contact you for inclusion in a volume 2 of my book. Volume 1 has 33 vintage .600s in it and I have found 38 additional rifles but most of the owners can't or won't be bothered to send me photos. I understand that as publishing won't bring fame or fortune. I do it as a labor of love and I do love English doubles with the .600 at the zenith.
Cheers, all.
Cal

Are you talking about your .600 or my ex? They sound like they have the same qualities!

Hi Cal I would not touch that statement with a ten foot pole.
Unless you mean large and loud.
Cheers octave.
If you search this site you will see some pictures of my rifle.
