I love the “Go Away Bird” , Not sure I have ever seen that on a rifle, but it’s very appropriate.

The go away bird on the left? Very appropriate.
"Go Away! Danger! Go Away!".

The scenes are very well thought out and tell stories. With the skill executed by a great artist.

I "spoke" with Geoffrey. Complemented him on his work. The leopards realism, glaring eyes and rippling muscles. Missed seeing the Go away bird. The elephants stand as if stopped from suddenly moving. Most spectacular IMO the three dimensional leaves.



The phalanx of elephants facing a pride of lions. Observed by meerkats. One can smell the elephants and lions. Taste the dust.



I can hear the growl of the leopard, its bright angry eyes, it's muscles rippling in tension. "Goaway Goaway" the bird calls. The breeze stirring the leaves, cool on ones sweat as you back away from the sudden unexpected danger.


The magnificent three dimensional leaves. If they were green they'd move with the breeze.



The zebra peeking over.


The Rhino and Nyala.



I will see Geoffrey in Portsmouth mid next month. But alas, not this rifle. No doubt other shooting works of art.

It would be a great dream of mine to own a work of scenic wildlife shooting art like this. I'd probably regularly stare at it for hours. And I'd shoot it. BUT would need to improve my gun cleaning habits to ensure it lasts generations.
