I believe I read that Harry Selby once had a .470 double express rifle- it was run over by a lorry while on safari, he then was able to obtain a new Rigby .416 BA, which became his mainstay rifle "In Country"- with a M70 Win. BA in .375H&H as well-

If I could have a double express big game rifle, it would be a drop-lock Westley-Richards .470-- no sling clips, recoil pad and pg with single trigger- at short range (under 100 yards perhaps?) an experienced big game shot has the fastest two shots available- plus the rifle stays mounted in the shoulder pocket, no excess movement needed to cycle the bolt for the "finisher"!!~!
