Just from watching Gunsinternational, seems like that sales of doubles rifles are at a stall. I'm sure much of it has to do with issues in Africa in addition to finances and etc.

It is very slow, for one thing the indigenous govt of Africa has demanded higher prices by making the Safari companies charge higher prices, and the indigenous don't care one bit as they can live in mud room or a mantion equally as well. Then we have the danger of overseas flights effecting a lot of folks, and on and on on our changing world, add to that our economy over the last 8 years under Obama..Hunting is down and so are African doubles..
