If you were given the task of determining the best newly manufactured ENTRY LEVEL heavy Double for Africa you could buy off the shelf for Dangerous Game--yes,Buff and Ele ,the big Stuff--

What exactly would you choose? Why would your choice be better than the other rifles?

A Merkel due to its lower cost sans ejectors?
A Searcy?
A Chapuis with ejectors?

What rifles would you look for on the used market vs newly maufactored for less than 10K?

The folks at Champlin Arms stand foursquare behind the Chapius, others say the Merkel is more available,cheaper used, and it works.

Gentlemen--What are your basic requirements and preferences for the best entry level heavy Double??

Thanks to all who respond!
