Cheers lads. I am very much tempted by a single shot but since I can't get Encores or Contenders here (occasionally pop up but at $1200+) I'd be limited to Bergara (CVA) Apex or a modified Baikal.

Bolt actions appeal but they are long in regular form, xp100 style mid-grips change that nicely mind but make magazines trickier.

Ideally I want something that'll work for most all non-dangerous African species.
