Hopdoc,

I would jump on one of those rebuilt Searcy's that Bulldog mentioned. Restocked to fit you with Butch'r warranty at yesterday's price. Thats hard to beat. I think they are all in 470, which would be my choice for the easy to aquire ammo and cases. If you have a choice, I would have it regulated with Federal ammo so you know you can get ammo that will shoot for you.

You will end up with a good working rifle, in a calibre that will do well for buff or elephants and that you can get ammo for in Africa, if it comes to that. Hard to beat that!
