In these days of difficult air travel, luggage weight limits, we may end up taking only one rifle, a versatile all rounder.

Or worse have to borrow a rifle, which is "pot luck". Sometimes very good rifles, custom rifles lijecKarl Stumpfe's Mauser 98 custom rifle in 8x68S I borrowed, Some even have ac0 loaner double rifle. To the other end, clunkers which not cycle reliably, scopes put with the reticle on a tilt to allow one to shoot a bolt action like a gangsta shooting his piece sideways. I'll leave the names of those confidential.

However forget this for your answer. If you want to bring a number go ahead and comment.

BUT assuming you can take what you want. A safari is not, or should not be, just a simple collecting of braggy wall hangers. It should be fun. The challenging hunting. And using our favourite well known or new firearms as part of the enjoyable experience.

So what for a CLASSIC RIFLE SAFARI would you choose to take. Your idea of a classic firearm, but explain why, and for what. No simple lists of cartridges, we ain't a USA gun magazine spuiking the latest crap to buy to gather dust in the guys 15thngun safe.

CLASSICS, what would they be used for.
