I ended up choosing a .375 Ruger for my next African hunt and will take my old .458 Win Mag Ruger as backup. Go with a .375 (Ruger or H&H) over a .338 because of regulations over there and in case your other rifle goes south on you. The thing you will really like about the .375 Ruger is what a nice carry rifle the African model is. It carries like an 06 and delivers very good power and range. Heck, I plan to make it my elk rifle as well. This rifle and cartridge match really is a good idea and this one won't be going away like a lot of the Short Magnums.
I think your right. I have the African too. I love it, it cuts holes at 100 yds with 270 grain bullets. I am going to try the 300 grain this week. I am going to take it and the M77 Magnum in .458 lott. I will use the lott for the buffalo and the African for the rest. If i get picked for the Elk lotto in KY this year the African will be the gun i use too.
