    Safari Express rifle pic thread

    I have an older, vintage 1929 Husqvarna Mod 46 in 9.3x57. It's built on the older Swedish 94/96 action that cocks on closing. It's a fantastic rifle, beautiful wood and a good shooter, and is totally stock, never has been drilled & tapped for a scope, and will stay that way as lon as it's mine.

    What do we mean by a Mid-Brown. I have an Adventurebilt in brown and do not want another in that dark of a brown. I have a Banjo Patterson in Heritage Fawn and like that color. A lighter shade of brown would be good, would it be anything like the taupe fawn? I looked through the hat's...
