My Simson Suhl .405 WCF worked out well too, and it too was done by an experienced gun maker. It has become a favorite of mine, taking a variety of big game from hogs to red deer and Nilgai:

Nice looking rig and definitely up to the task of taking any buffalo walking.

Just moving to DM. Yes, please ask your friend if he knows somebody who might be willing to support a persistent hunt in the snow.

Hi Paul,
This is Daniel from Mankazana Safaris.

I saw your post regarding a hunt in Africa. I am sure you have been bombarded with messages and replies from other outfitters, so I will keep this one quick.
I have a feeling we have exactly what you need for a first safari.
If you'd like to hear more, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Yours sincerely,

If you ever decide to sell this rifle, I will buy it with the dies, bullet, brass, the works. Dan
