Anyone with experience good or bad with Collets taxidermy?
Met him at Denver ISE, and again at SCI. Was impressed with his show work and demeanor.
He has a shop in Zimbabwe and in South Africa.
I have a upcoming buffalo hunt in KZN this June. And am strongly considering him, but if anyone has input It would be helpful
Collets wildlife artistry.
 
I used Colletts (http://collettswildlifeartistry.com/) a few years ago. I had them tan the hides and then ship them and the skulls & horns to my taxidermist in the US. That all went well. I went by their shop in Bulawayo and met Steve. The shop was quite large and impressive.
 
There work looks really good to me. Some nice mounts and other products that is for sure.
 
Thanks Ruger,
Much appreciated
 
We have work being done in both locations. The prices are decent, we get regular communication from them and what we saw in the shop in Bulawayo was impressive. They sent progress pictures with the last update.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
