Welcome Dave! I used to have a Highland Stalker in 9.3x62 but then married @Just Gina and we took it to Tanzania where she used it successfully on Sable, wart hog, zebra x2, lichtenstein hartebeest, and leopard... and promptly declared that rifle was hers. So I bought another in 275 Rigby, which is now also hers as she shot one heck of a nice old bush buck with it in Limpopo about a month ago
However she does let me borrow them. I am thinking about getting a Big Game or maybe one of your new doubles... or both
One criticism, on the 275 Rigby, please stamp them 275 Rigby/7x57 and cut the chambers to fit 175 grain round nose bullets. The 140 grain spire point is inadequate for general Africa Plains Game but the 175 grain makes it very effective. We had ours, um Gina's, cut out by JJ Peridot. As did other members on here.
