Double rifles and Elephant

[50Gunner]

Rare Breed, yes Sir, indeed, and will do, the Holland Royal 450 it will be for this Elephant hunt, both SA PH's really want to see that 577 in action, so it will go along for the walk and stalk hunting anything we can close the distance on there.

Take the 577NE. I will be doing the same thing next year and by coincidence have a ranch in Oklahoma near Holdenville as well.

You had me at Holland & Holland 500/450! If it handles like a bird gun, that may save your life more than a little extra power. Pondoro Taylor said that a well fitting gun can perform out of all proportion to a badly fitting one.

Hunting Hitman, Nice, i'll be looking for your hunt report next year, I remember Holdenville, a little West Of Calvin, seems I remember a road headed there going North, we hauled coal to the big cement plant in Ada for 20 years, that Hartshorne vein runs right through this farm, you guys should have some dang nice whitetail deer out that way.

Steve White, that's true and makes a lot of sense, my old 41 year Army retired E9 Gramps told me long ago, "son, even a slow hit in the right place forever trumps a fast miss."

We can all look back at what Bell did with agility afoot and accurate shooting, different time, rules and place, yes, but he lived it.

Did I perhaps miss it or haven’t we seen any pics yet of the 500/450 or the 577?

You know exactly which ones you want to take with you.
Don't tell us stories about your luxury problems.
You just want to hear about what great weapons you have.
(Should I go on vacation with the dark-skinned beauty or the blonde? That's how it seems to me.)


Yes, they are great weapons,cheers!

VertigoBE, no Sir, I've never had any pics of those two rifles posted.

LOL, Foxi, no, it's true, my little bulb really does burn that dim, I need all the help from these Pros on this board I can get, and Thanks.

Well, after three pages of captivating the envy of the AH members, perhaps some teaser photos are in order?
I for one would love to get a chance to drool over them!

Based on your age, I'm guessing your grandfather was likely a veteran of WWII and Korea, possibly either WWI or Vietnam as well depending on how old he was when he had your parent and how old your parents were when they had you. Any way you slice it, he had a fair bit of experience on "Slow" hits and "Fast" misses.

If he had them, any idea how many stars were on his CIB and Mustard Stains on his wings

In my opinion there is no question as to which double I would take and it would be the H&H and I would think of Teddy a lot while hunting with it. Teddy is my favorite president and I spoke with H&H last year about a project to make me a near duplicate of Teddy's double rifle. The nostalgia of your H&H 500/450 far outweighs the awesome power of the 577.
