I saw fifteen and thirty one and I immediately thought firearms. The thought of marriage lasting that long didn't occur to me first. Ack, that's not good. -Magnus
Reminds me of that segal movie..where the bad guy says " This is the kinda guy that you can drop of in the middle of the Mohave dessert in nothing but a pair of bikini underwear, and he'll be knocking on your door the next morning with a million dollar tan, and a fist full of pasos.".......Yeah, wish I could do that. :P
Well, I used to shoot rabbits with a .243W (custom bench-rest rifle, and beautiful) out to 400 or so yards. Wasn't a great deal of rabbit left.Originally Posted by LibertariaNate
The thought of "too much gun" has never crossed my mind. Is there such a thing?
If I was getting a double rifle I'd get .375 H&H, I think, always seemed a very "useful" calibre to me.
Don't even own a pea-shooter these days.

Maybe in 3-6 months...I need to get rid of this belly and get my legs back up to snuff...and I refuse the tan Idea...

You ever investigated solar cooking? I did when I was prepping for Y2K. Wonderful stuff.
I made an oven for $3 (literally) that would bake bread. How amazing is that?

Because my CZ 416 Rigby wasn't big enough and my (coming) custom 408 Cheytac isn't for hostile conditions.Wow, I'm in awe. I thought you were kidding. I just love British double rifles, pure artistry in metal and wood. I'm curious though, why chambered for 600NE? Surely it's "too much gun" (I know, I know) for anything in the USA, even bear? Really a Big Five weapon, and only two or three of them? Are you planning a safari? (Seriously.)
No, because I was given the choice of 577NE or 600NE. At that point I literally flipped a coin. And I have a hippo hunt that is waiting. I participated but did not take a shot in an Elephant hunt. Once I got there it was clear there was something less than honest about it and I sold the license to a businessman from the Emirates. I did get to keep enough leather to make a few belts from it though.
I got far into enough relationships w/ South African businesses that the option of setting up shop actually arose.
Purely because other business interests would have embedded me in the region anyway. It's not a core interest of mine, nor do I have the stomach for it.. big African game. I've been on tens of viewing/photo safaris but only two hunting. US hunting is entirely different for me but anything in Africa more exotic than a Gemsbok would break my heart. -Magnus
Boddington hasn't budged in decades and says it's still the best overall for almost anything on the African continent. There is no way to sensibly disagree w/ him. He is remarkable. -Magnus
