Fordy it would be a privatidge and an honor to do so!!! Thanks!!!

Interesting how life is…I have owned my farms for 24 years now. When my wife died I sold the large one. Now as I near retirement I am seriously thinking of selling my final 40 acre farm in a great desirable location outside Atlanta with a home variance and a well to build my Africa war chest...

As the saying goes and I have found it to be true…common sense is not common in my experience

Now that’s funny!!!!!

Your LOP and proper weight for caliber goes a long way in a DR. I have owned Rizzini, Chapuis, Merkle and Rigby in different calibers for a total of 8. All but the Rizzini were a pleasure to own and shoot

This week I get my blue wildebeest rug for my office!!!!

The 470 NE Rhino is almost always under $10,000 and can be very tempting to the first time DR buyer who may not understand the need for LOP and weight for caliber. Do not make the same mistake I did many years ago with this being my first DR purchase due to my ignorance.

LOL...I am still trying to get my elephant tusks and ear back from Colletts going on 18 months...I had to renew my US import with Conservation Force and I am still waiting. While I know many of you have been pleased with them, I am not.

Agree! When I was married to my dear wife of 30 years, we bought all Hemingway collection for our home and got so many complements on it. When I remarried, my wife just has different taste so my Africa type thinking goes in my office/trophy room and she gets the rest of the house and no it is...

Agree, however, while I think they make great shot guns, the 470 DR Rhino model I bought should be avoided given I will bet my farm it would be sold within 4 weeks after use.

Chapuis 450-400 NE for under $13,000 new from Champlain and George Caswell. They will cut the stock to perfectly fit your LOP and provide you a lifetime warranty. This was my second DR, Absolutely stay away from a Rizzini DR given too light for caliber and very poor engraving.

Not true. If you ask the camp manager to specially tell them not to iron you are fine

Love their brass for reloading

Just looked online at @Kevin Peacocke favorite store but they do not list them anywhere

I would listen to Kevin. I have been to these places not long ago when I had some down time…just awesome!!! I have no idea about shipping but I can tell you the colonial camp furniture at M&M was less than half the cost in America and I also found out several US retailers use M&M as their...
