Gail Selby, her elephant, and Bell's .275 Rigby
      22/06/07 12:31 AM

The topic of one of Bell's .275 Rigby rifles that had been given to Mark Selby by Robert Ruark was being discussed over on AR a couple of days ago. Unexpectedly, Gail Selby herself chimed in on the thread. She asked a friend of hers to post a photo in the thread for her. I thought you guys would enjoy seeing it.


"Like Harry, his children Mark and Gail grew up in the shadow of acacia trees and within the sound of roaring lions. At the age of 14, Gail hunted an elephant with her father taking a bull with 50-pound tusks. On that hunt she used a Rigby .275 originally belonging to the legendary elephant hunter Karamoja Bell, and which had been given to her brother Mark by his godfather, Robert Ruark."

Gail's web site is worth a visit! see: http://gabrimaun.tripod.com/
Joe Coogan's article about Harry Selby (that I quoted above) is on Gail's web site.

Cheers!
