There is something very nice about Jack Lott's Holland & Holland .577 NE Double External Hammer Underlever.

Something about the combination of the old .577. external hammers and an underlever, all combined. Classic.

Makes my mind think of Darkest Colonial Africa before WW1, when the wild places were still not fully known.

The smell of freshly burned cordite, the fresh buffalo dung and elephant dung, man sweat from the exertion and adrenalin of the follow up of tracks, the African red dust, and the smells of the tropical jungle. Wonderful.
