Selous with an M95?
#347552 - 05/12/20 10:30 AM

While perusing wikipedia, I found this pic of a memorial to him in the Natural history museum in London. Not sure if is is an M95 but could be.

We need more memorials with guns that can be clearly identified...

With bolt peeps....

I thought that's what I saw, but I'm a major fan of the bolt peep sight, so I was afraid it might be just wishful thinking.

When I visited the museum many years ago, to me the rifle looked like a typical Westley - Richards Mauser in .318,complete with a Parker - Hale "Sportarget" peep sight and "Germanic" claw mount bases.
