The first question on my SAT was which is the greatest hunting cartridge of all time the .270 Winchester or the 7x57 Mauser.

I picked the .270 and my test score soared grin

I like it! Did you have that done before you went to Africa? Who did the work? What would you have done differently? Quarter rib?

I'm gonna have a Corbett-Ingwe Special built for myself some day!!

Now THAT is a rifle. And a fantastic mustache....

I think some type of "safari" mustache is required when shooting any metric cartridge.

I don't have a clue who the WR belongs to, but the mustache belongs to Jim Corbett. That picture is with the Rudraprayag man-eating leopard he killed. His Rigby made .275 was a gift from the governor of the province for having killed it. I believe he owned a WR in .275 Rigby before that.
