A few years back, an old widow offered me her husbands for $2,500 and I passed it on to a friend.[:@]

Hey, stretch, why is it everybody from Utica to syracuse says ithaca is the best? Got a buddy from utica and its the only shotgun he will shoot.

I just finished building a flintlock Jaeger in .73 caliber (12 bore). I believe with 200 grains of Swiss FFg behind that 600-grain PRB, it would kill anything in Africa.

But if you want a modern rifle, get a 7X57mm Mauser-actioned lightweight, and shoot 175-grain bullets in it- Nosler Partiton jacket softpoints for smaller, thin-skinned stuff,including leopard & lion, and use monolithic solids of the same weight for brain shots on elephant, Cape Buffalo, and Rhino.......... Whatever riufle you select, make sure it is a controlled-round feed if a bolt gun. If you have no worries about cost, get a British double in .577 Nitro or 600 Nitro Express. Next, go to the range and learn to shoot it! Good luck!

I`d say it is everybody from Utica to ithaca since ithaca is pass syracuse. It`s what we were brought up on. Since they were built local they were all over the place

I think that the best gun ever is the one that you shoot the best or one that has killed your greatest trophy or posssibly means the most to you, such as sentimental reasons as maybe a relative gave it to you.HCH

Pose the same question to whomever is buying your airline ticket; they will likely have the proper advise.

If you are hunting deer, lion, bear etc... and need a quick follow up shot please invest in a good autoloader deer rifle. Remington just came out with there new model 750 Woodsmaster that you can buy at Walmart for about $584. It is a great rifle I just bought one and have put about 300 shots through it without any problems. If you are not a Remington fan, (whichI suggest you should be) than buy a Brownong BAR. Have fun in Africa and kill some for us.

.375 H&H is an absolute must for Africa. It is an excellent antelope gun, and is big enough to take down a lion, it's the minimum for Cape Buff, I wouldnt use it for them, but you can do it. good luck buyin a double barrel...gotta hit the loottery for them things. the .375 is good for anythin sept for Elephant.:)
