Wow thats sweet a great collection you have knowing your impeccable tastes rest assured 8)

But since one is allowed three guns you better get one before babus switch it off.

Looks like a .400 Purdey from the overall build of the rifle, also the box of ammo, if I can recollect correctly I remember seeing a box or two of .400 Purdey cartridges that came in the red/silver Kynoch box :)
"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)
