So in a few years time, when SAUMs and WSSMs etc have been around for 15 years or so, nobody is ever going to order a .30-06 again? ...and the Blah-zer will have relegated the 98 Mauser to the scrap-heap? Hmmm, perhaps not.

1925 was only 15 to 20 years after the mainstream acceptance of most of the big NE cartridges, and half that period was 'wasted' on the Great War. More than 80 years have passed since then. Those who were raised on the ULH Express would have still been alive and well, ordering new guns, and hunting, in 1925. I think it is probably a little difficult to put that time-frame into proper perspective today.

Anyone know when Hollands made their last 8-bore Paradox? Bet it was this side of 1925.

And BTW, that 8-bore is very nice indeed but it is hardly an exhibition gun. Looks like a good-quality European working rifle to me, although it certainly hasn't done much work!
