I'll test her out on a Cape Buffalo in June. Caprivi strip in Namibia... hunting the flood plains of the Chobe River. Some really big herds there... looking for an old dagga boy. Can't wait!

Now that is the stuff dreams are made of! :bow:

Too beautiful to shoot... almost. Congrats. A couple of questions out of my I ignorance.

When it is sighed in, do you "split the middle" of both POI's?

Are there other benefits of a double rifle than being able to get off a follow up shot quicker than a bolt gun?

I zero to the right barrel and let the left fall where it will... Usually an inch to the left.

9 times out of 10 you won't need the second barrel if you make a good first shot so I focus on that.

The quick follow up is the main reason for a double, but reliability is another.

Each barrel has it's own firing mechanism completely independent of the other.... if one fails the other is ready to go.

When you hunt things that hunt back, that can be pretty important.

I usually hunt Soutern Africa, so it's usually "Nkosi" instead of bwana.  Nkosi is Zulu (or possibly Xhosa.. not sure). Bwana is Swahili and would be used further up the coast in Eastern Africa. Yes, I know... I'm a pedantic jackass.

That's simply gorgeous. You answered the question I had regarding the sight in process, but I had one more. Do you need a hunting buddy?!

Any chance of getting a nice write up in a publication? Double Gun Journal comes to mind seeing Oleg Volk's studio shots.

An article that captures your double's beauty but then bridges over to photos of its maiden voyage to Africa would be a natural for DGJ!

Congratulations! Edited by Djay3
