I really like the cartridge line up. The rifle line up looks impressive too, but there are too many and too far away!


Can anyone name them all for me?


Looks like great fun was had by all.

And last, "the Doublers". Last year, Rusty doubled a .470 NE, this year 700 Nitro doubled my .577 NE and Perry doubled my .500 NE:

Well guess who in the excitement of his first elephant hunt, forgot to use the rear trigger first and used the "normal" front one resulting in another ffffing double! Yes me. One shot went to the brain, the second over its head, at least we couldn't find another bullet hole. I also heard tthe second shot, but did not feel the second trigger (assuming this is what happened). The recoil didn't bother me, but having no extra shot as insurance to put into the downed cow, and also nine other elephants coming crashing in from the left did bother me!

Something I found very interesting. The PH(s) said a LOT of clients double their double rifles. So it is a lot more common than most guys are willing to admit.

I must do a lot of training using the rear trigger first to get it instinctive.
