Getting ready for my last African safari, so I decided to take along the most classical 2-rifle battery I could put together. The heavy rifle is a Krieghoff SxS 500 NE 3", while the medium is a Ruger No. 1 Tropical chambered for the 450-400 NE 3".

The primary objective of the trip to Zim is 2 tuskless elephants. I hope one will be taken with the Ruger, if conditions permit. Also plan a couple of PG animals with the 450-400.

I have started loading for the 450-400 as I have not yet hunted with this rifle, but have gotten a few leads from Mule Deer and plan a few shots tomorrow, if the weather cooperates.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty of give me death! P. Henry

Deus vult!
