Re: Ivan Carter - Double Rifle vs Bolt Action Rifle

It's a nice little video.
I enjoy my bolt rifles and I enjoy my double rifles.
Given the chance to use either on big dangerous game, I'd take the double rifle.

Agree totally...and yes, in a couple of those scenes, there is no way you would have gotten a second shot off that quick with a bolt...
Have not talked to a ton of PH's..but the ones I have really liked doubles..in fact 2 of them in my last camp both said once they can afford it they would get one...
Think both have their place in Africa..and both have pro's and con's.. given a choice..I would pick the double for the big stuff ..especially ele...you have a good sized target and are typically at close range..same holds true going in for wounded big stuff..there again the double would be my choice..
