Returned yesterday afternoon from our winter get-together, out on the velt of Llano County Texas. Game was plentiful, food was great, and we even imbibed a bit in the evening.... Won't bore you with a mess of pics so here are just a few......

I wish you would quit posting these photos Renault! Up tell now, I was perfectly content in the knowledge that I could not afford an African Safari complete with a nice Double Big Bore Rifle. Now I see, I could buy a Small Bore Double and have at least as much fun. I have spotted a few Pedersoli Kodiak Doubles in 45-70 and I have over a hundred spent brass cases, hmmmmm........
Nice looking camp Renault. Love the tent.

Stearman, what are you waiting for???????
Mr. Godfrey! Thank you very much! Several years ago I didn't like the tent color, so I painted it!

Oh!!!! That's what that sound was?????????
As for the paint. A water-based exterior latex house paint cut with more water; like a 3 or 4 to 1 ratio. I put too many coats on this tent. One would have done it!

Oh, those are fabulous. And if you get two, McCool Gunsmithing in Tulsa, OK has developed a bit of a cottage industry rechambering the 45/70's for 450 NE. Strangely, all reports are that it works like a charm. Then you would be forced to start saving for the Real Thing. They're a gas. Been on five and would love to go again.

Holland's .375: One Planet, One Rifle . . . for one hundred years!
There was an article a couple of years back in Gun Journal I believe, the author took the 45-70 out to 45-120, which is basically the same case as the .450 except the head. He shot black powder, so it was almost a modern BP Express Double. You are right, this is a good time to buy!
C'mon Stearman!!!!
Were waiting for you............... (heh, heh, heh)
