For whatever it's worth. The overwhelming majority of our new rifles are ordered with detachable locks in .470 or .500 calibres with an occasional .375 H&H or .577. These rifles are ordered by serious hunters and taken against dangerous game regularly.

Mike,
There is some very good information in this thread.

Since we are spending your progeny's inheritance why not order a second set of barrels. A set in the 400 NE class say .470,regulated at 50 meters and a 9.3's or .375 Holland regulated at 100 m. Practice with the 9.3 -.375 ........and just enough with the .470 to see where they are shooting.
If a scope is a -necessity- on the .375 Holland : a S & B Zenith 1.1–4 x 24 and claw mounts.

Trust me you will not feel the recoil when the Buff is in your sights and you squeeze the trigger on the .400 NE.

To the best of my knowledge, everywhere in Africa where caliber minimums are enforced the, .375 H&H is the legal minimum.

Wish I had those enviable decisions to ponder.
Good luck with your endeavor.

Good Shooting
T.C.

Many thanks again to everyone who gave me feedback. I did contact Holland ref. the Beavertail fore-end and was told that if it was properly fitted at the beginning and the wood was sound the problem mentioned does not and cannot occur on one of their doubles. However I will be going with a splinter for the simple reason they want about $3900 extra for the beavertail, It wasn't that much more comfortable !!! best regards, Mike Bailey
