Spot the odd one out!!
Yep folks, the eagle has finally landed....gloves off, time to get to work! [8)]
"With solid bullets on heavy animals such as elephant, rhino and buffalo this power is quite apparent but is not so obvious as when soft-nose bullets are being used, say, lion, particularly when is a case of stopping a charge : the .404 will stop him all right, but will seldom crumple him quite so completely as will the .416" -- John Taylor, Big Game and Big Game Rifles, (Ch.

Re: Spot the odd one out!!
Zubin,
Excellent rifles !! Though I really like your .375 , I can't wait to see the work you do on the "fair lady" .
I see that very much like the IOF .22LR rifle, the stock of the 30.06 also comes in various shades of yellow/brown. Olly's rifle has a darker stock.
best,
Rp.

Do you want me to guess or state. i have already seen your collection except the 30.06, which is very easy to spot.
By the way Zubin and his entire family (including their dogs and a single one eyed tom)are such lovely people. Pity i could not make it to their place again. hope to do after the work on IOF 30.06 is over.

Re: Spot the odd one out!!
Zubin,
It would be really worthwhile if you kindly let everyone know about the various things you kept in mind while selecting this particular IOF 30.06 piece. A check list of sorts if you please.
