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

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... smile

The African one will be here Thursday I think. Then I can compare them both and pick one.

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. [Linked Image]

Well, shoot.... I've changed my mind. crazy 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. smile [Linked Image]

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! [Linked Image]

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!!! smile

Cheers!

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!

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! cry

Well,,, there's alway the trip back from elk hunting this fall.....

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.
