Guys, please don't misread my OP as a condemnation of double rifles... if anything, I'm even more enamored of them now than I was 2 years ago, and if/when I get a chance to buy one, I'll take it to Africa quite happily!
My premise was/is that 1) the double rifle is a specialized rifle, especially for DG, and while it should be revered as such, it 2) is not suited to the average African hunter no matter what size his bank account. If you are going to take a double to Africa, you need to be damn sure you can shoot it and shoot it well.
