It was my goal to do this safari in the classical Vintagers style, with a Side By Side gun, iron sights only. My weapon of choice was the L'Atelier Verney-Carron double rifle in 450-400 3". Using this same gun I had placed Third in the Vintagers Stalking Course competition and then using a different load for the Stopping Course; I had placed First. While I also brought along a second rifle, a L'Atelier Verney-Carron in 470 NE which shoots equally well, it stayed in the case the entire trip. I hunted exclusively with the 450-400 3".

Lou said in 28 years of hunting, it was one of the and most exciting and dangerous elephant hunts he had experienced. If I was not carrying my 470 double from L’Atelier Verney-Carron we would not have been there.
