Kamilaroi,

I don't really know much about "Lt Col VM Stockley". I

am waiting to receive his book, so hopefully this will

tell a bit about his hunting life. Not sure if Stockley

was undergunned in Africa but after reading Taylor's

books, he has quite a bit of praise for the 400/350.

Ballistically I think it would be a fairly good lion

cartridge. Luckily, I really plan on using the Rigby for

deer & elk around here, so I don't think I will be putting

myself in too much danger! I won't get the Rigby for about

another 6 weeks as I'm waiting for a ATF form 6 (import

form), as the rifle is coming from outside the US. I can

hardly wait.
