The 9.3x74R doubles that I saw at SCI convention were lighter and handled great for me. They looked far better than the heavy doubles in .470 and the like.

My double would be a working gun, to take into the jungle for buffalo in South America and going elsewhere for cats and elephants. It would not be something handled by a gunbearer or to take out to the range once a month.

For buffalo I would go with the 9.3 withouth a blink, but the problem is that it seems light for elephant in thick jesse. I don't want to have to rely on my PH. I don't want him to shot at all.

So my decision was to try to buy the .400 (actualy the classic by Searcy and I have emailed him to have it ordered). It would not kick as hard, shoot as loud, weight as much or swing as heavy as the .470's and the like.

This way one could be on top of things for buff, and in fairly good shape for elephant.

HOWEVER, a 9.3 (example: Chapouis) are half the price ot the .400s and so I may show up with a 9.3, a bit undergunned in Africa...

My two cents, Dante
