Hey Mitch, you're right about guns having a certain flavour, my stainless laminate 45-70 gives me visions of tramping through a snowy boreal forest, whereas a nice blued timber 375 or 9.3 gives me thoughts of Africa too. I think that's part of the charm of these No1's, they have a certain character to them that inspires.

Just got some loads done for the 45-70 with some 350 gn FPs loaded to give approx 1900fps, so I'm keen to get out and give those a run!

The 375 Holland should be in my possession by Saturday week. :-)

Cheers, Scott.
