I do not take just one rifle even to the deer lease.

You are going all the way to AFRICA for 3 WEEKS.

How much more of a bother is it to take another rifle.

Say 12 pounds for another rifle,scope and soft case [I use a Tuf-Pak], and a "few" pounds of ammo.

For ME it is a NO BRAINER.

On my 2 Safaris, one 21 days the other 30, I took a 450 No2 double rifle, and a 9,3x74R SCOPED double rifle.
Worked perfectly.

On my last Safari I shot some plains game with the 450, and elephant and buff with the 9,3.

I would not take ONLY one rifle on a squirrel hunt.

If I only had one rifle, I would be afraid to leave the house.
