Those with high value firearms, do you bring them to Africa to hunt with?

I hunt with several bespoke rifles--built by myself, lol! Would like to say I would hunt with a $200k firearm since I've hunted with everything I've ever owned...but would question whether I would spend that much in the first place. I think I'd have to be mighty rich, otherwise would spend that on a hunt with a more utilitarian piece.

The most expensive gun I own is a Heym 88B.

Even if I owned a $300K, Holland & Holland, I would hunt with it.


I have no "safe queens"


Guns are made to be used.

Guns are more valuable than U.S. Dollars...

As is gold, silver, houses, land, fine watches, vehicles with carburetors, or almost anything tangible.

This ^ I have a 2014 bottle of 20yr Pappy Van Winkle I bought for $140, it’s now worth $6500 or more! Same goes with many other well bought items including firearms…
A friend always says “they will never be more available or less expensive then they are now!”. Basically saying if you have it and want it and it’s of value, buy it! And then enjoy it! Take that nice rifle hunting with your Rolex on your wrist!
Eat, Drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die! And I know this for a fact as I went to work at a business I owned one day and ended up in a pool of blood on the floor fighting for my life and then spent the best part of the next year in a hospital bed!!!!
Go on that hunt you dreamed of! Take that custom rifle with you! And never look back!!!

IMO - Fiat currency, can be, literally, not worth the paper it is printed on.

I remember a guy that I flew back from Africa with in 2007 who showed me his receipt for breakfast in Zimbabwe.

It was over $100,000!


Everyone needs some money in the bank, but tangible assets are (financially), really, all that matters.
