Re: C grade at auction

For the record, there are no rules on here regarding posts on live auctions, we have always welcomed them. There are, in fact, very few rules apart from always extending kindness and respect to other members even amidst differences of opinion.

Congrats to the 8C auction winner!!!!

Re: New Article on the Model 8 in AFRICA

Thank you for the kind words Jack! I actually talked to Marc yesterday and we revisited his 2008 Namibia trip. He said he also shot a Kudu and a jackal with the Model 8 in 35Rem. None of the PH's had ever seen a Model 8 before, but one said a distant relative in South Africa had an FN 1900.
