If I ever hit the lottery, buying a few safari rifles is high up on my listI sold double rifles & dangerous game rifles for a few years for Eurogun Imports. It was a father & son operation. We sold safari too. Shot a lot of .375, 416's, 470's & 500 nitro express. I Did want to shoot the .600 N.E. they had. The son still has his .500 N.E. & I still have my .416 Remington mag.
If you ever get a chance to go to the SCI convention, you head would hurt for all the doubles on display.If I ever hit the lottery, buying a few safari rifles is high up on my list
I love my 45-70, easy to handle and carry. It’s a thumper but throws lead rocks like a champ!
I have one of those also, a lot of fun! Also have a Marlin 1895CB, when I first bought the CB, I set up one of the old school cast iron sinks at about 50 yds. With some 405 grn boolits, it penetrated three of the partitions in that old sink and put one hell of a dent in the last. It may not penetrate body armor, but I bet it would leave one hell of a bruise, maybe even cardiac arrest if hit in the right spot. I was really surprised at how far it penetrated.
