Interesting GENTLEMAN, and a delight to listen to....
I shared a camp in Botswana with a second safari party in the late 90's if I recall. Selby's son Mark was the PH for the other party, and his father visited the camp several evenings....
Amazing guy to listen to, I had to tear myself away from the fire and make myself go to bed....
The .416 Rigby Magazine rifle he made famous was purchased by the late Arkansas Sportsman Frank Lyon.He bought the gun directly from Selby, Joe Coogan (mentioned in the obit) arranged the deal.
Frank had the gun completely refurbished and had it with him at a Flyer shoot in Louisiana some time later and offered me a chance to fire a few shots off hand with it....
Frank returned to Africa with the rifle and Harry joined the safari briefly to see Frank put it back to work in its old haunts....
He lived quite a life.....
