.585 bolt gun in Africa?


An experienced big bore shooter will be able to control a rifle caliber 585 Nyati and not let it fall out of his hands, but keeping an eye on the target and reloading quickly is another problem. With the heavy DR calibers 577 Nitro Express or 600 Nitro Express it is also not that easy, despite the fact that with such rifles the second shot is much easier and quicker to do.
 
Here are two screenshots from a video. Shooting my .505 Gibbs. It shows the muzzle rise

There was a gentleman on AR who bought his father a rifle from AHR in .585 AHR. I believe he took a few buffalo with it.

Intriguing rounds, but I'm not sure what they'll do that a .458 won't for a client hunter. That being said, I'm always contemplating something in the .505/.510 realm.

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
