    Charles Lancaster 375

    Assembling an Africa Battery

    I’d like to start to assemble an Africa/worldwide game battery of guns. I’ve got a bolt action 375 H&H being built at the moment by an English maker. I figured that was a good one to start with as an all rounder and I can give it a quick test run on a water buff next September. I’m thinking I...
