@Just Gina and I made a trip over to R &M Firearms to visit @Mark Biggerstaff and pick up a couple Ruger rifles we had ordered as well as some ammo I asked Mark to set aside for us.

As I was waiting for paperwork to clear i was perusing the gun racks and cases. Lots of interesting revolvers as well as other guns but what caught my attention was a Henry knock off on the used gun rack. Upon further inquiry, they had a new Henry original in the box yet. After some short negotiations and dipping into Gina's collection of cash.... we came to a deal on the pair! Mark made a comment that he was guessing the new one would be Gina's and the used one would be mine.... I corrected him that the new one is indeed hers. And the other would be known as "ours". ;)

The other guns we were there to pick up were Rugers. A Lipsey's special African 35 Whelen and a full stock 6.5x55 :)

Pretty wood on the Henrys. Will you adopt me? I’m an orphan.
IDK, would you be a hard working kid like we were? ;)

Have you ever heard the saying about married life and ownership of things?

What's hers is hers, what's mine is hers and what's ours is hers.
 
Bob, the 35 Whelen and 6.5 X 55 qualify as my two favorite calibers. Obviously great minds think alike. LOL

My dads version of that was, "whats yours is mine and whats mines my own".
 
Bob, you still win. Gina dipped into her purse and you both took home the new rifles.
If she’s anything like my wife I still get to set them up the way I think they should be and influence what she “needs”

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
