Nice!

Geedub, I thought I would use the Meathead recipe linked to in this thread in the recipe forum. Sound about right?

Great story, nice knifes and awesome riffle. I believe as you alluded to the 405 was maybe Teddy's favorite safari caliber.

Thank you sir for the kind sentiment.



As a collector/user, I will not claim that the 405 Winchester is my favorite, but somehow, four different rifles chambered for that cartridge have followed me home in the last few years, three of which I took to the range recently in order to decide which rifle would be used to slay that beast.




Bursgmuller & Sohn Double Rifle, 405 Winchester



Ruger #1 Tropical, 405 Winchester



Dakota Model 10, 405 Winchester

and one that as of this writing that remains unfired.



Winchester 1895, 405 Winchester

Very fine rifles sir, think you made the perfect choice with the double. I was curious and checked the web. there seems to be a fair amount of 405 Winchester ammunition around still. Believe Starline also makes brass for it.

That Ruger does it for me. Beautiful.

Only lever i have is a JM marlin stamped 45-70 guide gun. Not in your league but nice none the less. Kicks like a horny mule though when firing Buffalo Bore rounds. Excellent for short range bear hunting.

Geedub, if you have had 10 of those Belgian Triples, be awfully careful with those lovely blades.

What't the old Clint Eastwood quote......"A man's gotta know his limitations. "

IIRC I took the skull to a taxidermist friend on 4/7 and just got it back.

Those were consumed at the rate of one to two per night during that interim period,

Geedubya, that treatment of the Nessmuk is the finest I have ever seen, by far. Just stunning.

Yep. Very nice.

Your CSMC double caught my eye so I googled it. I will have to add some great guns to the reasons I love your thread. The shotgun sabot double makes a lot of sense though it takes deep pockets to acquire one. Beautiful guns they make!

Thanks for the kind words, gents. I'm heading for the killing fields in just a bit. Doing a bit of thermal hunting tonight.






Catch ya' on the flip-side!
