It arrived today. Got it in 308. Ammos cheap and easily found. Slapped my spare 3-9x40 Zeiss on it. It'll be my new everyday walkabout rifle.
I'm drawn to the mountains and the bush, it's where life is clear, where the world makes the most sense.
During the Angolan bush war the SAF troops regularly got hold of captured RPG's. None of the local cows or donkeys were safe
The other form of entertainment was shooting white phos grenades into "dongas" - shallow depressions that had filled with water in the rainy season.
Give bored young guys enough firepower and explosives and they will always end up causing chaos![]()

(I am sure Tentman won't mind me posting this here. It's his work. I am just the caretaker of it now.)
.257 Roberts Walther barrel on a VZ33 Mauser action by Alan Carr. Stock by Goeff Slee. It has a Satterly safety, (like a Winchester 70 safety but on the left side of the action; where your thumb is.) I must mention that it has a great trigger. I was told what trigger it was but I can't remember now. It looks better in person.
How does it shoot, you may ask? It shoots very well.
Very very nice!
VIVA LA HOWA
Looks good James.

Boom, cough,cough,cough
Do you have any history to go with that wonderful old double? Any tigers or elephants to its' name?
Not really but need to decipher all the writing on the case, the case shown is not the original, definitely ex India, will run the serial numbers past Joseph Lang when I get time, hope to load some ammo this week and clean the barrels with it next week end, 110 grains FFG, or some safe nitro load, have to work out a loading procedure.

Holy shit, a true elephant gun Macca

It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
