Ha ha, I like the article but not the title.

Here is what Philip replied to me. Along with some other gibberish by me.

***

I was referred to the article by a friend. I had already seen it though anyway.


John - I've got a .404 Jeffery. Unfortunately not a vintage Mauser in some English maker brand, but a modern Mauser M03 and a .404 barrel for it.

I disagree with the title of the article. The .404 is too much to be the one gun rifle for everything on Earth. It has too much recoil for continual use and too damaging on small and medium game.

The .375 H&H Mag, still holds this position of great compromise.


Philip Massaro
The title wasn't mine, and I agree totally with your statement regarding the .375; I titled it "Old is not Dead".

I do think it is a perfect all-around big game hunting cartridge, and that it pairs well with the .375 H&H.

John
Bloody editors Philip!

Philip Massaro
Lol! They changed the title for the online article.

John
Not a bad adaption from the The Lord of the Rings book and movies.

John
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne.
One Ring to rule them all. One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

John
Here's my attempt:
One for the Hunter on his hunter's seat.
One Gun to hunt them all. One Gun to finish them.
One Gun to bring them all down, and in the larder hang them!

More comments with me suggesting at the end we both have the same malady, ie too much recoil over too long a time.

Philip would fit in well here. It would be great if he joined in here.
