No studio photos with 1875 steamer chests, ivory or zebra skins 
But, a couple of my favorites where utility, form and beauty can blend.
Top- original 54 cal M 1841 “Mississippi Rifle”
Bottom- replica 54 cal Kit Carson Hawken

Here are couple. Below is my HSR CZ-550 in 375 H&H before going to Africa, and the next one in the Eastern Cape, South Africa.
Below is my Weatherby Athena IV in 12 ga, this was in South Dakota.

I posted these on another thread. My mother wanted me to start taking some of my dad’s guns home to put in my safe since he is 91 and no longer able to hunt.
Pre 64 model 70 in 30-06
Heavy duck model 12 3”magnum
Both were bought in the 50’s, the rifle in South Dakota and the shotgun in Carbondale Illinois.

I'll also add my Rigby Highland Stalker in .275. It has performed beautifully on two continents.

Is that a 308 Marlin Express?

My mother has that exact chest. Never seen another exactly like it.

.338 Marlin Express. It is my go-to rifle. One of the best purchases I have ever made. I bought them when they were common(ish) for something like 700.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
