Not sure the photos are uploading, however a description of the two choices is: 1953 mfg M70 rebarrelled and reworked to 404 J with McMillan stock. or, 1996 mfg Safari Express, CP Donnelly rebarrel/actionwork to 458 W. The barrels are 23" & 24"; the 458 has a heavier taper so is about a pound heavier. The scopes are changeable, but at present the 404 has a 2-7x Leupold while the 458 has a 1.5x Zeiss. If I were going to Africa I'd like to take both, but seems there are problems with authorities along the way that are unsympathetic to my situation, I may be reduced to taking just one-
