I'm in the beginning stages of building a 470 Capstick rifle. I plan on using a new production Winchester mod 70 416 rem mag as the donor rifle, a Pacnor barrel, NECG Banded front sight, barrel ban swivel, island rear sight and McMillan safari express stock in the McMillan McWoody finish.

As I’m sitting in my room looking at the trophies from that trip, it got me to thinking. What old school American rifle, and in which calibre, would you take to Africa? An 1895 Winchester in .405? A pre 64...
