I came across this and it kind of shocked me. $100k for a rifle?

My HH6's dad is a Safari guy... he has gone to Africa on Safari several times. He was telling me about the 600 Nitro Express Double Rifle that the PH was carrying over there...

VERY Expensive..

For 100k it should walk itself out, aim and fire without any outside interference.

My buddy carries a lever action 45-70 in Alaska as his bear gun!

True dat.

I think if I was hunting Brown Bear I would carry an AT-4 as a primary with maybe a .357 as a "shoot myself in case it failed" weapon.
