I had the privilege to fire E. Hemingway's WR .577NE, E. Keith's WR .470NE, & F. Jamieson's WJJ .500 Jeffery
I strongly recommend avoidance of "The Zambezi Safari & Travel Co., Ltd." and "Pisces Sportfishing-Cabo San Lucas"

In my opinion, for a rifle to be "tasteful" no single portion shoud stand out and each should complement the whole. When you first look at it you shuld think - "wow, what a lovely rifle" - rather than "look at that engraving"


Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship

Phil,
You hit the nail on the head. No one part of a rifle should make you overlook the rest. I like somebody to admire my whole rifle and then look at the individual items.
