24/27. Almost there..
 
You move out your dining room table to make room for more mounts
 
If you are on AH so often that your wife thinks you are having an affair.

In her defense, you do get on it as soon as you wake up and just before you go to bed....

If your children are watching national geographic and ask when the animals will be shot (because daddy watched too many hunting videos)
 
If you take advice from all the AH enablers and buy another safari rifle.
 
If you look at posts like this one and end up buying some Skullies.

I feel you brother..

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
