[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 634868, member: 10306"] Good choice! for a one gun man the .338-.378 Wby is about as good as it gets, sepecially if hunting globally. You can kill the small game too dead, right? I will say that most places in Africa wont allow the majority of the big 5 to be huntied with anything less than a .375 of some sort. I would still buy the .338-.378, but buy another rifle in .416 or larger for your nig five when you go. All scoped out i think that the .338.378 Wby Accumark will come out to around 9.5 lbs. They all come from the factory with a brake. Your scope has too much magnifacation on the low end. Ive had some close shots on black bears with my .338 RUM and the 4.5 power on my mark 4 is too much. I can get to 1k yards with a 10x scope, but preffer something between 14x and 20xon the top end. look up March scopes, they have a 10x zoom and are solid scopes (so the scopes are 2.5-25x50 on the hunting model). Im buying a March next. If not March then nightforce. [/QUOTE]
