I really don't have any irons in this fire, except having 2, 9.3x62's and a .375/06IMP. If I ever go to Africa, I think I will leave them at home and not take a rifle. Maybe I could borrow someone's bow or rifle while over there. I suspect I could afford to spend a few hundred on a rifle and a couple rounds of ammo. That would make packing & paper work for the trip a LOT simpler - less worry some, as well.

I have been doing that off and on..IF it works out, IMHO, a much easier option... especially if you are hunting plains game.. Also did it when I went to Spain..they had Blaser R8's with Ziess Scopes.. thank God I didn't read the posts on here about the Blaser before I went I probably wouldn't have gotten any game..
