What a dilemma! - On the one hand you don't really NEED a double for what you say you want to hunt, but I fully understand the DESIRE to own a double. Your 375 will take everything you say you want to hunt - and with the right bullets, it'll even take Elephant...... but if I had made up my mind to buy a double, it'd be the 470. Of course, one could argue that maybe you should put a mercury tube recoil arrestor in your 416 and direct the rest of the money towards your hunt...... but that's for you to decide. If you do decide to buy a double, learn to shoot it well and if necessary, don't hesitate to fit a scope and QD mounts on it. A lot of people don't think it's cool to scope a double, but from my experience the majority of people who bring an unscoped double out to Africa sadly, can't shoot it as well as they should, and often, can't shoot it as well as they think they can.......

Don't think you can't afford to hunt an Elephant. If you can afford a Buff hunt, you can afford an Elephant hunt. - For example, we sell a 1x1 Buff package in Tanzania for US$15550 and in Botswana, we sell a 7 day (non exportable) Elephant package for US$10000 OR a PG and/or Leopard/PG hunt for a rate where you can take PAC Elephants for US$5000 each. - The Elephant hunts are for mature bulls only.
