You are quite welcome, and yes it is a very helpful site!

As far as affording a double rifle, my advice is to buy yourself a medium chambering, in a newly made double like a Merkel 140 chambered for something like 9.3X74R. They can be found, used, for a real bargain sometimes. They are absolutely perfect for North American hunting, and will handle anything walking this continent, with the proper bullet. The little 9.3 is fine for most things in Africa, as well! The idea is, these doubles are a fine starting point, for a new to double rifle person. The 9.3 is also a good rifle to sell when you want to upgrade to something bigger. Sort of getting in, in small steps! Drive your car one more year, and buy a double for the same money you would have spent in payments!

Come on in, guy, the water's fine!
