SOS:
What a remarkably generous offer! Many thanks, but as of yesterday I am the proud owner of a Merkel 140-2 in .470 NE. It is nicely engraved with an African motif on both sides of the receiver: a buffalo on one side and rhino on the other. It included a fitted leather case and was purchased for $10k. I've already ordered 220 rounds of ammunition (80 practice rounds; 100 w/ Swift A-frames; and 40 solids), so the range will soon see me on a regular basis leading up to our September safari date.
