So, I have always pined for a Winchester 1895 chambered in the classic 405 Winchester.
The Roosevelt Safari connection has, of course, been a major part of the intrigue of such a rifle.

I often thought that an 1895 with express sights would be a good combination of the workhorse American rifle with a touch of Anglo Africana and besides, I really dislike the looks of the Lyman sight made for the 1895. Too much of an afterthought sighting arrangement and quite bulky looking at that.

So, to my surprise, it turns out that I'm not the only one in the last century thinking of such a rifle!

Enter this Winchester 1895, chambered in 405 Winchester, with a sight arrangement that is pretty darn close to what I have been pondering for years. I would have, however, had a standing 100m sight if I were to commission the build myself. The sights on the rifle are very British right down to the engraved sight distances on the leaves and the front looks quite like that on some of Westley Richards rifles.
There are no British proofs or any indication of who did the sights.
The wood is pretty "DeLuxe" looking so a letter from Winchester is probably in order. Maybe they can shed a little light on the work.

Oh well, now when carrying this rifle, I can pretend that I am on the African savanna or rocky outcrops right around the time of Roosevelt's 1909 trip (this one was made in 1905). The plains of Colorado can almost double for the African savanna in the right season...
Also, while I'm pretending, I can pretend that the "P" pecked into the right side of the action is for Phillip Percival ( I really don't know the meaning of it).
Now THAT would be an African connection!
