[QUOTE="BUNDUKI, post: 374134, member: 12042"] if you are looking for a truly versatile rifle for africa i dont think you can go wrong with a .375H&H Mag. i have taken game from duiker to cape buffalo with one and never found it wanting . you can load bullets from 200gns all the way up to 380gns .the long cartridge feeds like a dream if your ammo doesnt show up at your destination you can be assured your PH will always be able to lay his hands on some .375H&H i think he would struggle to find you some .338 Fed. i use a win mod 70 CRF bedded into a mcmillain stock had the barrel cut a 22" put a swarovski 3-9x36 in a set of talley qd rings so i can still use the irons. it weighs in at 81/2lbs scoped and balances properly which i think is very important for a african rifle as most shots are taken off and or off sticks regarding meat / hide damage on smaller game i find it is a lot less than many lighter calibres. i have used it on red dear and driven boar in europe with satisfying results. just my 2cents hope its helpfull [/QUOTE]
