Hi AH members, enjoying this forum a lot!
One of my favorite things to do is look at all the pics of the beautiful guns you guys have.
I have become African rifle obsessed through this build. My gun was a project that my father’s friend started about 25 years ago.
He had a Douglas premium barrel put on a Interarms action and put into a curly maple stock. He ended up breaking his shoulder and couldn’t shoot magnum guns any more.
So gun sat in corner of shop for all those years. I bought gun and started shaping stock. Brought to my smith who made it into this piece of art work. It’s no Rigby but I love it !!! Hope you enjoy. As you see big Winchester guy so carried over some similarities

Everything looks first rate on that rifle. Well done. Is that a 25" bbl? That rifle deserves a cape buffalo in it's future..............FWB

Nice job on getting it finished up!

Can't wait to see the hunting report after the first time you take it.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
