Some of Bill Jenvey's rifles.



Kate, Bill's daughter mentions:

The writing on the back states:

Top photo:
The .22 is a Remington Fieldmaster (holds 14 long rifle cartridges).

The black object under the .465 is a stone to hold it in position.

At each end of the .300 & .465 are the foresight protectors of both rifles.

The rounds shown are, from left to right: .22 long rifle; 30'06 (180 grain); .300(180 grain); .300(.220) grain; & .465 (480 grain)

Middle photo: Holland & Holland .465/500 and Winchester 458 calibre

Lower photo: Note that the .465 has side locks.

The .300 is a Winchester Mod.70 standard grade. (The super-grade has a cheek-piece and rear peep-sight. The action is also honed).

Thanks for posting John. That is a good read. I have always believed that wild animals, even when supposedly tamed will always be unpredictable.

And an enjoyable read too.
And a long way from the 'game ranch' style of many places in Africa available today.

Get off the chair away from the desk and get out in the bush and enjoy life.
