Just for fun I took a quick tour of the guns available on some common internet gun sites. I thought this way if my "rich Uncle" needed to know how big a check to send I could give him a total. Also, I tried to stay with Vintage British weapons & also tried to keep makers with their their own calibers. LIGHT (PG) RIFLE: Westley Richards Bolt-Action 318 WR $6750 (Steve Barnett Fine Arms) MEDIUM (All-Around) RIFLE: John Rigby Bolt-Action 416 Rigby $35,000 (Schwandt Classic Arms) *would have strongly considered an original .404 Jeffery if I could have found one LARGE (Stopper) RIFLE: Holland & Holland "Royal" Double .500 NE $49,000 (Fred Roberts) SHOTGUN: Purdey SLE 12 guage $29,750 (Hallowell & Co) So, for a grand total of $120,500 I believe this is a reasonable "Dream Battery" for any safari. What I think is amazing is that a new "H & H" Double Rifle would be a 2 year wait & cost more than all 4 of my guns. I would also ask my uncle to throw in a 28 day safari to Tanzania to try these out! |
