I put mine in a checked bag

I’ve got one. Blade made from a Land Rover leaf spring. I asked my PH about it when the boys in the truck got out to take care of a tree the elephants had pushed over the road. He offered it to me for no charge.

I will be there Saturday! I love the southern SxS. Look forward to it every year.

I like 30 cal best as well, my preference is a .300 H&H spitting 200 g A frames.

I have the sordins with gel cups. They are great. As mentioned previously, if looking for maximum ear protection, combine with in ear plug. I use throw away foam as I think they work better than custom in ear.

Love he thread, seeing everyone’s off road transportation. Here’s my 1965 series 2a 109 station wagon and my 1980 unimog 416 Doka. Brian

Reloaded a flat of 2.5 inch 12 ga shells with #6 shot for an upcoming pheasant tower shoot.

I’ve a Stephen Grant sidelever that looks verrrry similar to your Jeffrey. I agree with the consensus here.

Beautiful gun! I love English shotguns. Always seem lighter and more pointable than their American cousins. I have three 12 bores that all take 2.5 inch shells (1921 Westley Richards droplock, 1894 Mortimer and my newest addition, a 1893 Stephen Grant side lever). I haven’t shot any of my...

My 4x4s are old. 1965 series 2a station wagon and 1980 unimog 416 Doka. I agree that vehicles of the last century are incredibly easy to work on and maintain. I also have a 1995 daihatsu hijet 4x4 kei truck for around the property (though it is street legal in NC). None of these make a good...

My choice of cartridges for a dangerous game and plains game hunt were the same as yours. Both my 416 Rigby and 300 HH were in bolt guns though. I think you’ve picked the perfect combo. Enjoy!

I shoot side by side shotguns exclusively. All mine are hammerless, though I would like to have a hammer gun. I shoot a relatively modern 28 bore Westley Richards (1980s?). But all my other shotguns are older. 1905 Parker V in 12ga, 1937 LC Smith in 16 ga, ? Old Ithaca SxS in 20 ga, 1893...

Here in central NC, we have had a social opening day hunt at a friends farm for about 20 y. Usually hunt opening day with a 28 ga W. Richards loaded with 3/4 oz #8. This year will be trying my new Stephen Grant 12 ga sidelever with 1 oz # 8. A typical setup for me on opening day:

Anyone going to the southern side by side shoot/show in Sanford NC today? Brian
