Good taste Bob, it's still tough making a choice...

You guys aren't gonna shoot those rifles are you? Those are just for admiring. Ya have a Harley ya ride it, ya don't look at it. Ya have a gorgeous woman ya do immoral things with her frequently,not just look at her. Y have a fine hunting rifle, ya hunt wid it! I hunt with an original Sharps Buffalo gun. Jorge hunts with a gorgeous Shiloh Sharps Buffalo rifle. Don't insult TR by sayin' not ta hunt with a rifle with HIS name and picture on it!!

I don't HAVE a "better" between the two!!! Either one hangin' out with the Sharps would send me somewhere to kill something with both!

Well, Cmdr, I know your love of the Dark Continent, so my pick is for the African. Ginger or Mary Ann? In his case Marilyn Monroe or Jane Mansfield? Plenty of horsepower to go around.

Ginger of course, but if you know me, you know which blonde I'd pick... The African one will be here Thursday I think. Then I can compare them both and pick one.

The TR 150th is growing on my by the minute, but the one with the African animals, well you know! Yeah, it's a tough call IMHO. I like the overall looks of the 150th model better BUT I definitely much prefer the African animals on the Centennial Safari model. Well, shoot.... I've changed my mind. TR made the Model 1895 and .405 Winchester famous by using it in Africa; not in North America. If I were going to buy one of these two models for myself I think that would be the deciding factor for me. Considering your love of Africa I think you ought to go with the Centennial Safari model. Just my two cents... The choice, of course, is up to you. The model that makes YOU happy is the right choice for you! Cheers, my friend! -Bob F.

Oh! Bob, I won the bid on Ebay on one of the Johnson's books for 35 bucks. jorge Hey! Cool deal! Which title is it? "I Married Adventure" is excellent but my favorite, of the books authored by Osa (as opposed to Martin), is "Four Years in Paradise". Oh heck.... You need to own and read both of them!!! Cheers! -Bob F.

Currently fishing and scouting for this Fall's elk here in Colorado. Leaving in the morning for a trip backto Texas thru Kansas. HOPING to stop at the Johnson museum tomorrow!!!! I hope you get a chance to stop at the museum. The museum is small, so try not to be too disappointed, but it's worth a visit. I hope you take some photos and post some on here! Cheers! -Bob F. Well.... Made it home from the trip last night and didn't get to stop at the museum. The horrors of traveling with two 80+ y.o. ladies (mother & her sister)....... Please don't ask for the details! Well,,, there's alway the trip back from elk hunting this fall..... Bob N.

I've got "Bride of the Solomons", I Married Adventure" and "Four Years in Paradise". Unbelievable, all of them. Great reads. The stories of the interaction with Cannibals is stuff of fiction.
