My uncle took two rifles on his two safaris to Africa (Angola & Mozambique) in the late 60s, two model 70s, one a 270, the other a 458. With the former he took everything, including two lion. He used the 458 for Buffalo and elephant. Oh, the 270 was stoked with old fashioned Silvertip.


A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
