Hello, Bake:

The pleasure of "christening", be a double or a sports car, is a expensive one

Maybe a better approach is as follows:

1) Look for a sound second hand double that suit your taste and shooting style, preferably of a known maker
2) Compare the price you can get with the price of the new rifle
3) Buy it, use it (and not only in Africa...), enjoy it, treating it with respcet and care
4) Then, think sincerely if you want to send it. If so, be sure you will send it more or less by the same price as if you had bought it new. If you are not in a hurry, and your adquisition was reasonable, you can expect sending it more or less for the same price...

Best wishes

Antonio
