    Safari Express rifle pic thread

    I have a "perfect Africa pair" consisting of a Greener M98 in .318 Westley Ricards and a BSA bolt gun in .404 Jeffery. If I were to get a safari Ruger #1, it would have to be in 450/400. Nothing else would do, don'tcherknow. It'd be like sittin' at the bar in the Vic Falls Hotel and orderin'...

    Agreed, unless you attend a three martini lunch or something of that sort. :D

    An sporterized Krag with 200 gr. softnose loads has got to be the ultimate snow hunting rifle. Load up the magazine with mittens on, strap on the XC skis and have at dem mooses!

    Stroller - Morning Dress only?

    You could actually have a variety of vests. Black or grey for the most formal events, buff for one a bit less high toned and some cheerful seasonal colors. All this presupposes that you actually would wear one more than a day or two a year, of course.

    That's called the 'Puff" and it was allegedly invented by Fred Astaire, if my memory is correct.

    Hmmm . . . what size are they and what are you asking? I could get interested in the first and last.

    Ladies and gentlemen, a toast to Holland's .375 celebrating one hundred years of the best single 'go everywhere, shoot anything' cartridge ever made!

    Stroller - Morning Dress only?

    I suppose that all depends on how much effort you want to go through. Despite the sartorial prejudice against them, every man needs a black suit. People die and you need to go to funerals. People get married and don't want a morning dress wedding so you are left with the somber, 'marrying and...

    Now that we all understand what they are, how many of you are planning on wearing one on the traditional day, Easter morning? I'm in.

    Well, having just purchased a sweater vest for an upcoming trip, I guess I'll need to acquire a DB suit some time.:cool:

    How Do You Wear Your Hat?

    A tilt to the right for dress, straight ahead in the field. The latter because I can't be bothered with style in those circumstances and the former because I've been slightly out of kilter my whole life.

    help.......

    A vest under a double breasted suit these days seems to require turning the central heating down to a level that will bring complaint from the rest of the family. Yes, it was popular before WWII but buildings were less well heated then. Today, IMO, the DB is best left unadorned by a waistcoat.

    The ATF isn't one of the Fed's speediest agencies. If you correctly fill out a Form 6 it will take about six weeks to get back to you. If you screw up one section, add six more.:D However, so long as the weapon is a genuine sporting piece, especially if its a C&R, it really isn't a problem...
