If I had more money I would be throwing it away on all the rifles I always wanted but couldn't afford to buy in The Olde Days....... |

That reminds me....years ago when we were in South Africa we went down to Gold Reef City in Johannesburg and walked around that park that was a recreation of 1890s Johannesburg during the gold rush. They had operating hotels and restaurants and general stores and saloons and stuff. They had antique stores and a GUN STORE! So I was poking around in there! I saw a Cogswell and Harrison 375 H & H for sale for 2500 Rand....at that time that would have been the equivalent of $833 American!!! But we were fixing to go back to the US and needed to keep our money....but it was a real bargain! I also saw--- with my own eyes!!! a Brevex Mauser magnum action for only 600 Rand!!! ( $200 US!! ) .....and I didn't buy it!! |

Jack O'Connor's personal .416 Rigby on a Brevex Mauser magnum action.......incidentally, that is a Weaver scope which attests to the durability of those old Weavers..... |

A K4 Weaver Micro-Trac from 1980 beats the pants off a Leupold 4X M8 six ways from Sunday!! I know! I had both of them! The Weaver was 4.1 power which gave a BIGGER image....it had a larger field of view, the crosshairs were fatter (!) and it was WAY BETTER in Low Light conditions! Plus.....the bluing matched the bluing on pre-64 Winchesters perfectly......hee hee |

The Brevex actions are interesting. French of course, and one of the few makers who regularly made actions that could take bolt action chamberings such as 505 Gibbs. Scrummy
