Have only been to AFrica once, Botswana 1988. At the time I had two Rigby sidelock Best ejector doubles, a .350 No. 2 and a .460 G&A that had been made for Peterson the publisher, a wildcat .45 on the .500 3" case. Both open sights. I planned to take them but the outfitter said "Teddy Roosevelt has been dead a long time. Leave the doubles at home and bring a .375 with a scope and a lighter rifle." This was undoubtedly the correct advice for a first trip but I never went back and have always been sorry I didn't take the Rigbys.
