[QUOTE="Roll-Yur-Own, post: 219944, member: 6140"] I agree with Edge about a Double Rifle but you are talking WAAAYYYY more $$$$$. For a bolt action rifle it is a no brainer - 458 Lott built on a Pre-64 winchester action. Barrel and stock from whoever you like. The only issue with a pre-64 would be if you're lefty. Most PH's carry the 458 lott so if you have problems needing ammo you are not stuck. You can also use 458 win ammo in a 458 Lott. The 460 weatherby, in my opinion, is one of those things that looks good on paper. Reality is that shooting that thing without a brake is nuts. I'm not recoil shy - I shoot a 338 lapua that weights 10.5 lbs (about 12 with scope) without a muzzle brake. But, the 460 Wby is about 2 1/2 time more recoil. I'm pretty sure you can't use a muzzle brake in africa. [/QUOTE]
