Do I need this?

[farmer_john]

On behalf of all members of this website, I have been duly authorized to encourage you to buy the rifle.

Our union rep has spoken.... it must be so

Well, it didn’t happen…my brain wrestled with my heart and in the end I picked up a 2010 production Winchester Safari Express in 375 instead of the old gewehr.

I read the title, I’m not going to read the first post. The answer to any thread titled such is always a great, big “YES”

Now to look at the OP

You deft need it. Get it before someone beats you to it. If you are married don't worry about what the wife says or thinks just buy it. Always remember it's easier to ask for forgiveness than ask for permission.

Disappointing but a more practical choice.

I would say most of us passed the "need" stage a long time ago ..

Since he went with something else, here is where it can be found for those who want to take a closer look. It's in Canada at Prophet river guns. I would buy it, if I already did not have a custom 22" barrel 9.3x64 built on a FN supreme action.

Beautiful caliber, I would wager the best "hunt the whole world with a single gun" caliber there is.

That's a very well done rifle!
$3500CA is about $2500US but then going through Borderview adds some to that.
The last time I used them to Import a rifle it was around $600 but that rifle was $9K and I don't recall if the fee was graduated for the value of the gun.
Thats pretty much a "do it all" North American and non DG rifle and quite good looking as well!
