Here's a 404 Jeffery on a GMA action. engraved by Lisa Tomlin. This barrel has an integral quarter rib with banded swivel and front ramp. Lisa's engraving must be inspected personally to really be appreciated.

Rifle built for Mufasa.

I choose D too! gorgeous, love the straps and love that cheekpiece. the lines of the action and barrel are just lovely, the transition from ring to ramp to the small step in the barrel, that is something else man. Mufasa put me in your will!

Beautiful work Duane... damn nice rifle Mike! I want to see that one in person!


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

He, you do English forearms as well as any bespoke maker, anywhere.

Is that set up for Joe Tomlison (?) rings?

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

I like the one standing, one leaf rear sight on that quarter rib.

Is that a NECG?

Duane,

Knock it off. It is not nice to muckle with the emotions of mortals.
