Thanks for the offer! But I'm not really all that interested anymore, as I can pay for a lot of other stuff (including another safari) for the price of a .450/.400 double.
The first one I almost bought would have been worth it, though. It was a Manton belonging to a friend. It shot great when I worked up some handloads for it, and he said he'd offer it to me if he ever sold it. Instead he sold it for $6000 to somebody else--which was a steal.
The other one I considered was a good British boxlock, but can't remember the maker. It needed a little tightening and the asking price was $14,000. Probably could have gotten it for a little less, which would have been a decent deal, but instead I decided my CZ .416 Rigby kills buffalo just fine.
