To put that price into perspective:

$118.50 in 1958 dollars is the equivalent of $865.00 in 2009 dollars.

My guess it that you could sell a bunch of those actions at +-$900 dollars today.

I see them for sale in the $2500 range from time to time, but they don't seem to move too fast.

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.
