My FFL confirms that a Butch Searcy-made rising bite double in .375 H&H flanged magnum has arrived and awaits pick up once I have a Washington DC gun license in hand, set for 5 August. Leave for South Africa and Namibia on 7 August and will post pictures. Regards, Tim | ||

Rising Bite? Awesome. Sounds like a great African carry rifle. | |||

Tim, I saw that gun when I was at Butch's place a couple of weeks ago. You're probably not gonna like it so just have him send it to me. I'll save you the heartache of having to shoot it. | |||

How long will it take Tim to get through the legalities so he can take possession of his rifle? (A stinkin' year? I HOPE not...) D/R Hunter Correct bullet placement, combined with the required depth of bullet penetration, results in an anchored animal... | |||

Tim - I can't wait to see photos of it. Have a great hunt! Hopefully my screw grip .375 will be next. | |||

And my screw grip 375 H&H Flanged soon after Dave's! Butch told me on the phone the other day that Tim's rising bite had gone out and that Dave's screw grip was soon to follow, but needed some engraving done on it first. | |||

Get it on the 5th and leave for Africa on the 7th?!!! That's pretty critical timing! Gun's going to be pretty tight. Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; | |||

Well? ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.” ― Adam Smith - “Wealth of Nations” | |||
