ARGENTINA 2010 HUNT REPORT

I enjoy hunting with my 130-year-old-actioned Gibbs.

Mr. mrlexma:

Grand stuff! Thanks for the link. What beautiful country that is. And great pictures.

Best regards,

Glenn

Thanks, Glenn.

I have also used this .275 to kill a royal stag in Scotland, although that experience was disappointing in the details.

As I have said, the Scotch is as good in Argentina, and yet the stag hunting is far better.

I would love to give it a go in Argentina with one of my single shot rifles. I took my H&H falling block to New Zealand to hunt free range Stags there and was unable to close the deal using that gun. I had to take my stag with my scoped Mauser due to the long distance of the shot. Congratulations is indeed in order.

Steve, my Gibbs has a 6x Zeiss on top in claw mounts, just for the long shots.

Of course, the mounting arrangements had to be rather a compromise.

But that is always the case in a single shot.

I would love to know the details and see a photo of your Holland and Holland.

This is the only .30 super rimmed Holland is known to have made in a single shot rifle. Made for the Earl of Cranbrook. I need to get some full length pictures of it. I took this small Whitetail buck with it last year. The rifle is extremely accurate. I also have a 1894 Holland/Woodward action that I am currently barreling in .375 Flanged Magnum and it will have a quarter rib and Holland Style quick release rings.

Very cool rifle, Steve.

Thanks for posting the photos.

That .375 sounds like a winner as well.
