Thanks for your comments and stories.

The 10.75x68 (or a .404) would be a strong contender if I was more interested in a big bore chambering. In this case I am leaning to a medium bore so I can use it more at home.

Are you able to can the old photos? If so it would be really great to see any old photos from India's hunting days. Plus any from the era of interest on other related subjects. I can host the photos for you if needed, send me a PM if you need them hosted.

Now that you live in NewZealand with its relatively liberal gun laws, yes it would be great for you to track down any family firearms. Lots of hunting to enjoy them with in NZ (but no tigers

)
