My friend Ken Buch sells Chapuis, Merkel, Verney-Caron, is an experienced African hunter, and has sold a bunch of real big bores as well as light 9.3X74 guns. His website is kebcollc.com but you should call him for the best information. The latest toys he has been selling locally have been the Verney-Caron .577 Nitros. I want one so badly but, unfortunately, can't shoot one. He also sells the lightweight Siace, and the Mathelon all rifle drilling, my favorite. I handled the 9.3X74 drilling and I would select that if I could field test it extensively before shipping it to Africa. Ken is in southern PA, is retired from the working world and has plenty of time to talk to you.
