    Some fine firearms there. I always thought I wanted to see someone shooting a 4 bore double rifle. Closest I ever got was this.



    Does not look like a lot of fun to me.

    There is a reason they had gun bearers in the old days. Hard enough to shoot one of those never mind toting one around till you had a chance to use it.

    I 'always' wanted a double rifle after I began reading African Rifles and Cartridges back in the mid '70s, and I have re-read it many times since. Nice being on safari in my lazy boy with my footrest cranked up. I could have never afforded a 4.05 Jeffrey, or Holland & Holland, and would have had nothing to do with it if I had bought one but ........... a nice fantasy.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Same nice fantasy and situation here Jimmy. I remember reading about John "Pondoro" Taylor back then too.

    For additional double rifle action: the books of Jim Corbett
    He hunted man eaters in India.
