Planning on taking the 470 NE Merkel to Tanzania this summer. My father has a 577 H&H Royal that he'll take. Too bad he's a lefty and I'm a righty. I will bring the 416 Rigby Dakota bolt-action, as if there is a monster 44" bull on the flood plain, I won't pass it up.
I'm already on the board with a Cape, so the double just seems to be more "Africa" to me. I don't know when I'll go back, as I am young and into the mountain hunting thing at the moment. Might as well make it count and do it right.
My father doubled his 577 into a Cape a few years ago in Zimbabwe at 20 yards. How he held onto the gun, we'll never know!
