Number One Rifle

Post by d findley »

Lee Newton and Larry Weishuhn looking at a beautiful No. 1 rifle. I'll bet there is a good story to go with these pics.

As info; this rifle is a 450/400 Nitro Express 3". Larry has "borrowed it" for a few hunts. Understand he has already whopped a hippo and something else little. He's going to use it some more. We will auction off for ROCS at Nashville NRA.
This rifle looks like a Boddington Buffalo, with Circassian walnut and the Express sights, but it is not. It has a regular serial# and is one of sixty that got made this way, kind of by accident. Some have called it a Boddington "mistake"!
