Re: New gun - the classic dilemma

My 450 No2 was made by Edwinson Green and Sons sometime around 1925.
The action and barrels came from Jeffery. All the markings are the same, the sights are the same, the dolls head even has the same engraving as a higher grade Jeffery. Green was mainly a shotgun maker but from what I have found he built a few rifles too. The rifle has 28" bbls and a very nice stock. No ejectors, it weighs 11 3/4 lbs. It shoots 480gr Woodleigh Softs and Solids, 500 gr Hornady Softs and old style Solids, 500 gr Swift A Frames, and 350 Hornady RN into the same group at 100 yards.
I have used it to take Squirrel, armadillo, skunk, raccoon, coyotes, deer, wild pigs, eland, 2 buffalo and 3 elephant.
It is my most favorite rifle.
I took it and my 9,3 Chapuis to Zim in June 2004.
