Plenty but in short:
.22LR Brno mod 2-everybody needs a 22
.222 Sako-My wifes grandmothers rifle, she won 3 bisley championships with it in Namibia, my daughter uses it now.
.222 Musgrave Mod 90 Mini-My son's.
7 x 57 Brno-Use to be mine my 12yr old son took it over when he was 7. I shot everything with it including eland bulls. My son shot his, 4 impala, 4 blesbuck and 1st Black wildebeest, with it at 7yrs old-he recons it's his now.
338 Lapua Magnum Custom on Weatherby MKIV action-use to be a 460 Weatherby that a spanish client gave to me. The action and stock lay in my safe for years until we built this "fun gun" on the action and stock. Most accurate gun I ever owned. Shoots 330gr bullets at 2650 fps. My son shot his first Koedoe bull with it last year.
375 H&H Brno ZKK602 action pop up peep sight receiver-beautiful gun I bought from English bloke.
375 H&H Brno ZKK602 action pop up peep sight receiver-going to re-barrel to 404 Jeff(custom)-my first back-up rifle, going to re barrel to 404.
500 Jeff Brno ZKK602 action custom-my most favorite rifle. My dangerous game back-up rifle. Have shot everything with this rifle. All of the big 5. Going away and coming! Many buffalo. Some I will never forget. 2 coming at 7 yards, one at 10 yards, another at 15 yards. Elephant at 15 and 20. All required but one well placed shot and the lights and water were switched off! Most devastatingly effective rifle I have ever used.
7 x 65R/12ga combination Belgium-my son's bushpig and warty gun and for plains game.
9.3 x 74R/12ga combination-my bushpig and warty and plains game gun.
12ga Brno sidelock 24 inch barrels fitted with front sight and ghost ring rear sight-my leopard back-up gun.
12ga 1905 Greener S/S 30 inch barrels-just a nice gun to take bird shooting, pigeons, guinea fowl, etc.
12ga Browning whale back semi auto-self defence
2 x hand guns-self explanatory.
