Papa ...How many other firearms do you have which no longer get used? I decided I wanted a double bad enough to sell 4 firearms to at least get to within striking distance. Then pay off the smaller outstanding balance over a weekly/fortnightly period. I now only own 2 rifles and hopefully that double within 3 months.

I have found many ossie dealers willing to do lay-by deals under the current economical climate. Get rid of all the stuff you dont use. Like me, you wont be stopping DG with your double, because we can hardly afford an entry rifle, let alone a hunt in Africa.

Make sure you get a caliber that will be useful on as many hunting options possible. My thinking was that if I was going to spend that type of money, I want at least something starting with 4, but useful on pigs, deer etc. I did not compromise and got a 450-400 3" which is about as perfect as you could get. Large enough to be truly an African double, but versatile enough to go anywhere. I intend to use this thing and hopefully have a really bad shoulder at age 70.

For others, a smaller cal is all they want, as in your case it seems ... as long as its a double.
If I was not concerned about getting 400 or more, the 93x74R would have been my choice, but a 303 would be a beautiful little stalker.. keep us informed!
