I owned a alaskan at one point but really wanted the African.
The african has a barrel band sling mount and I like the rear sight base better from the way it looks.
Sold the alaskan but never bought the african as I ran into a good deal fro a chapuis double in 375H&H.
Thank you for sharing your adventure. Some nice trophys. I like the fanged deer.
Don't know if you have interest in military history? if so nest time in London put the Royal war museum on the itinerary.
Smart call on postponing. It would have been a miserable experience if everything went great let alone if you had problems. Too much room for Mr Murphy to show up.
@Betterinthebush My heart goes out to you and your wife. So sorry for your loss.
The old model 70's just seem to fit in this is a "proper rifle category. "
Had a 300 H&H a number of years ago but gave it to a buddy that was going through hard times.
Since I just seem to be a day late and 100 bucks short on a 300 or 375.
You ask a question each person who contemplates a double have. @Mark A Ouellette answered your technical question and the emotional one in his decision process.
For me I have shot bolt guns from 22 LR to 505gibbs. And have enjoyed them all. And own a number of DG capable bolt and single shots...
These are a nice robust double. If I didn’t already have a 9.3x74’s in a SxS chapuis and O/U Zoli I would be making an offer. Someone needs to jump on this deal.
