I just wanted to let you know how totally pleased I am with my new bespoke V-C .500 nitro. You did a great job! It handles like a charm and shoots very well. The workmanship is superb. Thank you very much for your personal attention to this fine arm.

It was my goal to do this safari in the classical Vintagers style, with a Side By Side gun, iron sights only. My weapon of choice was the L'Atelier Verney-Carron double rifle in 450-400 3". Using this same gun I had placed Third in the Vintagers Stalking Course competition and then using a different load for the Stopping Course; I had placed First. While I also brought along a second rifle, a L'Atelier Verney-Carron in 470 NE which shoots equally well, it stayed in the case the entire trip. I hunted exclusively with the 450-400 3".

Azur Safari 450-400 3" double rifle from L'Atelier Verney-Carron :

- 3rd place in the Stalking Competition !
- 1st place in the Stopping Competition and new course record !

Lou said in 28 years of hunting, it was one of the and most exciting and dangerous elephant hunts he had experienced. If I was not carrying my 470 double from L’Atelier Verney-Carron we would not have been there.
