The IOF Outback...
Finally off the anvil...
"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. IX)

Re: The IOF Outback...
Hi Zubin,
> Congrats - remarkable work!
> I especially like the work done on the 'comb' &' grip'.
> By the way was the 'checkering' done by hand? Because the lines are so perfect!
> Reminded me of my own 30-06 Winchester Model17 whose stock was made by the good old Raghunath Redker who worked from a garage behind United Motors on Hughes Road, Mumbai, way back in the 60's!!!
Cheers
