From the "African Express" model range, this is the
intermediate grade gun with sideplates providing a larger canvas for the superb
hand-cut African game scene and bold foliate scroll engraving. The caliber is
375 Flanged Magnum, providing the same ballistics as the more familiar belted
round but with more reliable ejection. Belying the "Sunday Gun" good looks, this
is a tough working rifle designed to withstand the heaviest of modern nitro
calibers (also offered in 300 Win Mag, 375 H&H, 416 Rigby and 470 NE). Actions
are machined from high-tensile steel forgings, not investment castings. Side
walls are beefy and the actions are reinforced at the critical junction of
breech and bar. The ribs are one piece "I beam" sections further stiffening the
barrels. There are two parallel barrel lumps providing greater bearing surface
and firmer lockup. The express rib and the front ramp are integral with the main
barrel rib. Made to exacting tolerances in a shop combining the best of modern
machine-tool technology with time-proven hand fitting and finishing, these
rifles are superb value for money. Click on the pictures below for full-sized

display of fine modern gun-making.
