Hello all!

Been a hunter/shooter since I was seven and a reloader since my early 20's. I've never owned a double and have decided it's time I did! The English doubles are beyond my financial reach but I have seen some Chapuis, Merkel, and Heyms available in .470 NE that are affordable. The only reasonable way to purchase for me is to buy the gun via the internet shopping as opposed to being able to shoot/compare them. The dealers within a reasonable distance that "carry" the brands I mentioned don't actually have any available to "test."

I've been reading extensively and this is an outstanding resource for an aspiring double owner!!!!
 
:S Welcome:
 
Good day! Welcome to AH!

Welcome aboard!
 
Welcome to AH!!
 
Welcome MM! I'm trying to justify a reasonable double as well; actually, I can't justify one, but I still enjoy the chase. Good luck in your search!

Good morning,
Did you hunt w Leeuwkop at their ranch or in Zimbabwe? The ranch looks awesome, but I'll be in Zimbabwe for buffalo and whatever else we dig up.
What did you hunt for?
Vaccines?
What rifle did you use?
I feel like I need a good cotton safari shirt and an ammo belt to make the hunt feel right!
How often did you shoot prior to going?
Did you use sticks for shooting practice?
