Hi

As a young gunbug/hunter who is much here and on AR, i happened to come ower the pictures of Capsticks Musgrave Mauser in .375 H&H.

In the book which i got today :" Sands of silence there was apicture of him shooting it on the elephant hunt in Namibia , that was filmed ,and since i have the video collection of al the films ,i didnt see it there. But sinxce it was a elephant hunt he used the .470 Champlin Famars double rifle instead.

Is there anyone who knows how much the rifle sold for on the S.C.I auction +

The Musgrave factory are they still up and going or are out of business? It was good to see that a guy like he nstead of using cheap US made scopes finally had seen the light and got a Smichdt&Bender 1.5-6x42. I have had one but it was too short for the rifle, but now i have a 3-12x 42 which i like wery much .

And the knife he had was very ,damascened blade with ivory handle, yummi!!!! that was a knife for a connoiseur, but not a member of the domestic terrorist group called P.E.T.A.

and one less day until i get my .358 Norma magnum.....

--------------------
The world hasnt got enough big Bores ,and people who uses them

zaitsev,
Musgrave, division of Denel, closed in about 1996.
The "original" Musgrave (in later years Ben Musgrave and son), closed last year, after Ben died, and his son could not continue due to licencing problems.
(innovaive name BTW!)
