    Those thinking about buying a first double rifle

    I can foresee myself switching to open sighted double rifles for my N. American hunting. I kind of always wanted to. Now I just need to pick a caliber and buy one (probably a Merkel) and start practicing.

    Why Not A Double Rifle?

    I prefer to hunt with open sights and I like nothing better than a double rifle. I don't own any but have been looking lately and I seem to like the Merkel's. I really want a .470 but I want to use the gun here in N. America (and Africa someday) so I may settle for a 9.3X74R.

    Left Hand CZ 550

    It's tough for us lefties. Most large caliber bolt guns are for right handers and the two trigger set up on double rifles is designed for righties too. Maybe CZ has the answer for us southpaws but I think I will choose the Ruger no.1.

    Caliber 30-30 use in Africa???

    I've killed more game with a .30-30 rifle than anything else. That includes black bear and moose. But if and when I get to Africa I don't want anything less than a 30-06.

    Anyone using a 45/70

    I've hunted whitetail, black bear, and moose with the .45-70 and it has worked well. But my wifes' cousin works the fishing boats out of Kenai, Alaska and he is trying to get us a lodge to hunt blacktail deer on Kodiak Island this fall. If he succeeds i think i will carry my .30-06. I would feel...

    Thinking of getting CZ in 9.3X62

    Thanks guys I'm trying to figure out what my next rifle is going to be. I'm quite interested in the Weatherby magnums as well. Are their any Weatherby Calibers that are somewhat easy to get ammo for in Africa?

    Thinking of getting CZ in 9.3X62

    I'm thinking about getting a CZ in 9.3X62. Is this a cartridge that I can expect to find ammo in any of the normal safari countries or is this round just locally popular in South Africa?

    Hello from Pennsylvania

    Hi I am new here. I've joined this site to increase my knowledge of Africa as I have had a lifelong dream to go to Africa. I grew up reading alot about Africa from the likes of P.H. Capstick, J.A. Hunter, Jim Carmichael, and Wally Taber to name a few. This looks to be the most informative...
