For the big bore lovers...

From top..

Lee Enfield P14 in .470 Capstick,
Mauser M66S in .458 Winchester-Magnum
Mauser M98 by FN in 450 Marlin
Mauser M98 by Mauser in .404 Rimless Jeffrey
CZ 550 Magnum in .375 Holland & Holland

Unfortunately, until now, only the .404 saw action in Africa :(

Some beauties for sure!
 
HWL you need to take all those fine rifles to Africa!
 
Neat looking rifles, some very different looking scope mounts.

...great idea....but I have to earn my money the hard way, ....and when I go to Africa, it is more an escape than a journey.

But to talk about the ideal "African Batterie" would be also a great thread....

You don't need a batterie, you already have a 404..... ;););)(y)

You have everything you need for Africa. That 404 and 375 will do all required work.
 
Nice collection.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
