I ordered myself one of these. Very interesting first 40 pages so far.

I’ll probably order “Safari Rifles II” from Boddington as well.

@VertigoBE
This is very good bok, you will love it!
I also have Boddingtons "safari rifles II".
You will enjoy that one as well.

I can also recommend, Terry Wielands latest, "Great hunting rifles: Victorian to the present"
I have read all three in a breath.

Add this to your list as well tons of info on most big bore calibres.

It has changed into saving for marriage and a kid. Recently found out my fiancée is pregnant. So these books should keep me entertained until I can again afford the real thing!
Next safari might not be soon. :s
 
Congrats!
But if you will take my advice, and if the pregnancy is not in advanced stages yet, book the hunt in Africa now. (And, if necessary beg and borrrow money, and find the way)

Because when the baby comes, you are fully booked for next 10 years at least!
 
I guess I would be an optimist on this, a wife will get pissed off when you walk in with a new rifle for yourself but will never say a word when you purchase a rifle for the child. My first son opened up whole new avenues to filling gun safes for me. Enjoy the new baby and I hope it is happy and healthy.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
Beautiful Aardwolf for our Spanish client and good friend Alberto
