Did Selous mention this 425 rifle in any of his writings? Pictured in any photo? Just interested. It's been a while since I read Selous. And usually his earlier years.




I believe there was mention in his writing of taking delivery at his home just before leaving for Africa and having no time to get to the rifle range, popped off a round or two from his upper window at a chimney to check the sighting.

Apparently the coppers were just arriving to investigate when he was leaving his home.

Not sure if he ever mentioned using it in any hunting though.
