This is a question for all you Dangerous Game and African Safari
Hunters out there.

Which is your preference in an overall Dangerous Game Rifle?

Would you choose a Classic Bolt Action rifle in one of the big bore
caliber? .375 H&H on up?

Or would you go for one of the expensive Double Barrell Big Bore
rifles?


ah, carmelo, you bring to mind an argument that papa hemingway and i
spent many a gin and tonic arguing about. papa was always a proponent of
the big booms, the .470, the .505 gibbs, in double conformation, of course.

bull****, i said to ernest; give me a well made 7mm for anything with a
soft skin, and the *******s die, if they fly. the only two beasties that
require the giant solids are the elephant and the buff. and, imho, the ol'
47 is as much as one needs. that, and a damn fine pair of legs, if things
get touchy in the bush, don't you see? 'course, the wogs provide a damn
fine buffer for the first charge, boyo...
