Closed the deal on my 450/400 Sabatti SxS today at Cabelas in Maine. I live in NH, and won't get to play with it until it is transferred to my local FFL, which saved me a bunch of money vs. paying Maine sales tax. She is a beauty, feels GREAT, and I CAN'T wait !!! I have occupied myself with cheapy Remington 45/70's and 30-06, a Kodiak 8x57 hammer, German 8x57, a 9.3 Chapuis and Sarasqueta 375 SxS's, NONE have satisfied me, because I wanted a REAL elephant gun like the childhood heroes I read about. It is no fancy British gun but man, it is nice, and I can ACTUALLY afford to buy it!! Sorry for my little kid rant but I have been waiting my whole life for this, and the only guy that matters to me,and could have appreciated my moment,my best friend and Dad, passed away in Feb. I never joined the double rifle club because I never felt worthy. Now I do. I figure if anyone will understand, you guys will. Thanks Rick DRSS | ||

Congrats on the double. Also glad to have played a part in financing it. I shoot a 450/400 as well-you will love it. ...I say that hunters go into Paradise when they die, and live in this world more joyfully than any other men. -Edward, duke of York ". . . when a man has shot an elephant his life is full." ~John Alfred Jordan "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 BC "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities." - Ayn Rand Cogito ergo venor- KPete “It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker, that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own self-interest. We address ourselves, not to their humanity but to their self-love, and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages.” ― Adam Smith - “Wealth of Nations” | |||

I was in my late 40's when I bought my first, and to date ONLY D/R. I congratulate you and I agree that it is a very usable caliber what ever you might be hunting. I think that a well made 375 H&H flanged mag could also have done nice work for you, since you said you have had one! Enjoy your new rifle to the utmost!  Jack OH GOD! {Seriously, we need the help.} | |||
