Hope he never has a housefire...

God bless and heal Don.

Good glass

Too many things we don't know: what was the type/wieght of bullet used--was bullet failure more at fault than placement, what was the caliber (presume 375), was there an edited conversation instructing the hunter to let the PH's handle it at the end?, was the gentleman on the ONE hunt he could...

Well, I'm not as bad as my cousin--he left the status of 10,000 rounds of ammo in the rear view mirror years ago. (And, TBH, I think he was only referring to pistol ammo) But...I just seem to keep buying 8X57 JR ammo as it becomes available, even though I probably have a lifetime supply now...

See, you just need some more dedicated space so she won't even SEE them....My wife wouldn't know up from down in my shop.

Why won't charcoal work? It's a form of fire ain't it?

I love how the checkering continues the pattern on both sides of the take down joint. The swept back pistol grip doesn't hurt my feelings, either. As usual you have impeccable taste....and, I suspect, a walk-in gun safe!

Yep, a left handed M-S would be the unicorn that does not exist, even in fairy tales, unfortunately. And it is a wonder they made no such provision. But so much machining went into the original, they probably deemed it an unprofitable option.

Bruce Watson in Zimbabwe. His wife just had their firstborn. She would be glad to take all the women/kids in tow.

So these Husqvarnas are the real sleepers--maybe better get one before the world jacks up the prices.

Has anyone ever done an "Ackley" improvement on the X57 case? I don't recall one, but it will be a blue wonder if they HAVEN'T.
