Be careful or you'll get hooked on double rifles. I'll confess to owning more than one and I haven't been pursuing smooth bore doubles with the same passion I did before my first double rifle. As for Africa getting in your blood, you're right. We're looking for a Moose hunt for the wife next year or the one following, then back to Africa. There is no bigger thrill, at least for me, than buffalo in the thorn brush at bad breath range. Somewhere in Africa there is a 48" buffalo with my name on it.

I have my eye on an Isaac Hollis 500 B.P.E. with a Jones underlever and hammers. It's a nice rifle but there is a project nearing completion then two more in the works.

My last trip to Zimm I used a custom 416 Taylor for just about everything including Buff. They are fun to hunt esp close up and personal.
