A gun you shoot well will kill many times better than one that is more powerful but pounds you too much. I too like the romance of the 470 NE, but what would you do with it the rest of your life, when you're stateside and hunting the home court? The 375 H&H will work anywhere in the world on any game. Tough (enviable) decision, but if it was mine to make, I'd pick the 375 H&H.

Take care, Tom
