I am with Brett on a new Model 70. Much as I like vintage guns Africa trip another thing. Lot invested in the trip best have two of something that works well. 30/06 & 375 can back each other up if one is disabled or lost.
Another factor in Africa don’t take anything you worry about. Chance of damage or theft very high. Smile when customs officer takes your expensive pen better that protest. Advise received my first trip to Nigeria served me well 10 years working all over the continent.
I lost the bolt on a Remington 700 in JBerg. Thief pried the locked case partially open could not get the rifle, airline required bolt removal, bolt must have fallen out. Another African trip pair of Swarovski Binocs stolen from my hand baggage during inspection. Company travel insurance paid me back.
It’s a great place to visit low risk profile best way to travel.
