Finally had to say goodbye to old friends ...but gave three rifles to hunt the world

303 Enfield Parker Hale 1950s conversion to sporter

404j Parker Hale ...unfired believed to be from the 1960s

505 Gibbs CZ 550


Now to plan this year's hunts


And some quality range time...ammo Kynoch is arriving to feed all three....


Have six years of Africa coming up ...yearly visits

And I did not have to sell the 470NE ...liver is much better beer free !

Give me a break would love 303 brit 450/400 and 470ne
 
For me, It would have to be:
- .505 Gibbs built by Joe Smithson on a Granite Mountain Arms African Magnum Mauser action
- .375 Holland & Holland Magnum BRNO ZKK-602
- .30-06 Springfield Remington Model 30 Express
 
These are always fun.

9.3x62 FN mauser custom

Looking at what I have now.

Krieghoff Dreiling in 16ga x 16ga over 7x57R

Safe shooting
 
Three matched stainless (cerami-coated of some kind) bolt action rifles. Pick your maker, I think I’d pick Cooper. No sense breaking the bank.

.375 H&H, 30-06, .22LR.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.
