WHICH DANGEROUS GAME DOUBLE IS NEEDED??
10/09/06 12:05 PM

Possible Safari Scenario--

You are going after Dangerous game-- LION,BUFF, and ELE and need one Double to handle ALL of them. Assume your PH will be of minimum assistance backing you up and you have to finish anything you start.

I assume you should be prepared to be spooked suddenly in thick terrain by Lion, Buff or Ele as recalled in multiple other threads recently.

This type hunting is exactly what the Double was designed for--

Would you choose a
500 NE
470 NE,
450 class,
450/400 class?

Would you want a detachable scope?

WHY?

Would you want or need a detachable scope for precision shots out to ?100yds on the LION? What distance would be adequate/reasonable with a Double?

Would you even possibly consider a 470 with detachable scope?? or just resign yourself to getting much closer to that MGM lion to shoot that Double?

What one Double is the best compromise for encountering all the animals noted?

Thanks for any and all comments.They are much appreciated.
