So far I go to Africa only for hunting big game and since I only ever took only one big bore rifle with me, it was always a rifle which often made it a little more difficult for me to shoot PG additional to the buffaloes or elephants. I don't want to analyze the individual cases because too long. I already had also borrowed rifles, but apart from one caliber 416 Rem Mag, the others were all caliber 375 H&H Magnum, which is not my favorite caliber for hunting big game.
To put it briefly, after 30 years of experience, I would recommend that every African hunter who wants to hunt everything there and that only with one classic rifle, should buy a rifle caliber 416 Rigby. There is hardly anything better for almost everything that can occur in Africa, the cartridge can only reach its limits when it comes to stopping an attack, but even the professionals have different opinions on this.
