fisrt off, I hardly ever put post anywhere because I live in germany as an American and basically have no way to own a rifle here. I observe and ask questions to learn as much as I can in preperation for when I get back to the US.
I'm sure no one remembers this post so when it pops up you don't need to respond, but I am responding to the people who responded to my questions.
to "MauserRifle," "Also, since a 375 is a danerious game rifle, I would not rule out Africa or any other place, as you never know what you might do in the future. So why not purchase a rifle from the start that is apporiate to begin with?"
I think your right on this one but I'm thinking of a 458 Win or Lott for a complimentory higher priced rifle to the 375. I would like a rifle that has average accuracy and functions. I don't care too much about looks. I would like a rifle that shoots well after you feel like a part of the rifle. I am looking for a ruger in 458 Lott for the matching rifle however.
These rifles are more of a passion for me, not a need at all. but if I bought them It would motivate me to use them.
to "bipbigbore," "First off, forget the Weatherby. It is the answer to a question that noone asked. The H&H has stood the test of time as the world's most versatile caliber." I have decided the 375 H&H is the best choice. It's kind of like how I wanted a 30-06 instead of a 300 WinMag. the 30-06 is just as good as the 300 mag, it just has a slightly rounder curve in flight and a slightly lower energy that doesn't really matter if you shoot where you are supposed to.
