Agree with JPK--carry the bigger gun loaded and let the tracker carry the lighter one--if you spot plains game --odds are you can still take it whether it be a 450/400 or a 470...then if something big wants to chew on you --you have a better chance with the bigger caliber...

Interesting point with the ammo--which has been mentioned on my safaries as well as I ALWAYS have 2 guns with me--however in the past they have always been bolts so I can keep them loaded when not used by myself--all I need to do is cycle the action---with 2 doubles--the idea of the tracker keeping the gun and ammo seems like a very good idea..
