Nice rifles, have you settled on the 9.3X62 ?

The 338/06 is a great cartridge with rifle bullets from 160gr to 300gr, covers everything !
 
If I had extra money to burn I’d be all over that 338/06, but unfortunately I have a lot of medical bills to deal with first. Beautiful rifles and good luck on the sale.

About Lon's Elephant hunts w/Tokoloshe? I hear Lon is battling cancer? What is his long term prognosis? I am already booked to hunt Africa in 2024 2025. Might consider 2026 for another African hunt. I want to hunt a more wild open region devoid of civilization. Concern is the risk that I book f/2026 then find poor Lon has passed on? Does Lon have any assistance to carry on the business in his absence?

Is your 22HP still available? If so have the original case?

Hi Ian, I'm contemplating my first outing, leaving UK via Dubai to Africa, taking rifles as you did.

I presume it went okay for you, would you have done anything differently? Cheers, Richard East Sussex
