So I love my Merkel in 416 Rigby but would really like to take a 470 or 500 to the Caprivi for elephant in May..

One condition - I can only buy a rifle that comes with ammo or reloading supplies because....


I CAN'T FIND ANY AMMO ANYWHERE !!!!!

What a sad state of affairs :-( I can buy a brand new Merkel in 470NE today but it is an expensive baseball bat!!!

You don’t need a new rifle. The 416 is plenty of gun for elephant.

Yeah - pretty much decided that myself :-) I shoot sub 3" groups at 30yds off-hand with iron sights consistently and have plenty of ammo and components..

Still doesn't mean I don't want more - buts that's another story.. one of addiction LOL!!
