4 Bore | The Magnificent Beast
"The Africa" is a Watson Brothers double barrel, sidelock ejector dangerous game rifle chambered in 4 bore REWA. As Magnificent as it is powerful, the Africa is the culmination of 10 years' work from some of the finest gunmakers in the British firearms trade.
The 4 bore REWA is the modern iteration of the Victorian era's quintessential dangerous game blackpowder round. This Watson Bros. double barrel, 4 bore rifle brings that shooting experience into the modern propellant era with superlative quality and thrilling gusto.

This is a Magnificent Beast. The basic design is iconic and the details are gorgeous. I i had that kind of money, i would own one of those.
Graham, I had the privilege of being allowed to hold this beautiful rifle at the 2023 SCI Convention in Nashville Tennessee. It is as truly magnificent as the presenter describes it. AND it is absolutely massive!! 25.4 lbs. I could only hold it on target for around 3-4 seconds. Even though my finances would no way allow, I wanted to buy it straight away. Congratulations to the artisans who created it and congratulations to the successful bidder who procures it.

Glad you could make it! Visiting our booth at gun shows sure has its perks.
How big you want your caliber sir? Kentucky ballistics: YES
That's just beautiful.
A little large for gophers! What an incredible work of art!
The auction is too far away; I'm intensely curious what that rifle will sell for.

Well, according to their website, it's estimated at $90,000 - $140,000 usd.
Now that's a quarter pounder I could fall in love with just as a piece of art. As a Canadian, I'm heart broken the way our government is doing its best to destroy the sport. When I see Tom at Legacy Collectables unboxing all the Lugers and P38s, I get emotional. On the bright side, at least they're not being destroyed, but seeing all those war trophies leaving my country really pisses me off. I can't imagine how hard it must be for the folks that have to get rid of their fathers or grandfather's hard won mementoes that was in the family for years. I know if my father had Luger or something similar, I'd become a criminal because I sure as hell wouldn't part with my family's relics.

Happened to us in the UK, semi auto centerfires banned in '88 - and then all pistols banned in 97' - hundreds of thousands of historic and valuable sporting implements, trophies, heirlooms, and prized possessions were rounded up and destroyed,

Hi Lucius, I think the rifle is being auctioned tomorrow 23/4/23. I'm from Australia so that makes it a little hard to work out exactly when from Downunder. The rep at SCI said it will be selling between US$90,000 - US$140,000. I'd bet it will go the high mark
