Yep, I'll just go to Walmart to outfit for my trip to Africa. That should do it. Awful silly idea, isn't it?
I've read also that the PH insists that the scope flips down so the client can use the open iron sights on his bolt action in deep brush. That tells you something right there. Deep brush, a possible wounded animal, they want that quick second shot on a double.
I've read also that they like that Chapuis over there.
Well in defensive situation angry jumbo has to come w/o 10 paces or less before it can be shot and that is where heavy caliber two single shot rifles in one really helps. I hate to say so but modern American bolt actioned rifle is basically single shot firearm with spare magazine box. I have old Winchester so I can tell you that. For love of God I do not understand why American companies keep making those antiquated actions instead of going to strait pull designs like many European makers offer. I mean the bolt locks into barrel extension and accuracy is on par with lift up pull back push forward push down designs. Good folks at 24 hour campfire told me locals now only buy real cheap stuff like Savage Axis or Ruger American. Those European type designs with rotating multi log designs would be more expensive to make.
