2 months ago I bought a Krieghoff Classic Big Five in cal 375 H&H Mag, this is a very fine rifle, and I used it on my hunt in South Africa last week.
Shot Buffalo cow and 2 Bushbucks.

I also ordered an extra barrel in cal 470 NE. A little while ago I came over this Double rifle, also a Krieghoff Classic Big Five in cal 470 NE.
I bought this and cancelled my extra barell.
Here is some photos of the rifle:

That gold detailing is awesome. The cape buff on the underside is a nice touch and the wood is super. You seem to have very good luck with double rifles. Enjoy my friend
 
Great looking rifle! Congrats on the new addition!
 
Beautiful!
 
and the collection just keeps growing. Congrats.
 
That’s an absolutely beautiful rifle! I’m very (in)patiently waiting for the day to arrive that I can afford a double of my own!
 
Beautiful to rifle.
 
Now you have a nice battery for Africa..(y)
 
Very handsome set! Beautiful tools of the sporting life!
 
Gratulerar med kopet! Beautiful rifle.
Well Done! Hope you’ll get to use it often.

Yesterday I got my Krieghoff Classic Big Five double rifle in Caliber 470 NE.
It is a very fine piece of art.
I also got a RCBS Reloading die, and a box of Barnes 500 grs TSX.

The cartridge looks mean, but even it`s big it`s manageable.

It`s a little difference between 375 H&H Mag and 470 NItro Express

Congratulations, very nice and I'm sure well deserved.
 
great gun
great caliber.
.470 Nitro Express was created by Joseph Lang/UK, in 1907.
And "we" use it over 100 years.
Some things cannot be improved.
Envy yourself

May your rifle shoot as good as it looks!

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
