As it happens, I have three classic African rifles

9.3x62
375 H&H
416 Rigby

 

[400Jeff]

6.5x53R A&N Steyr/Mannlicher bolt
.318 Express Vickers LTD bolt
450/400 3" R.B. Rodda Double

This is what I took, less the 6.5, on my first safari. I wish I had taken the 6.5 but decided two guncases could be a hassle.
