I must agree with xausa. I wouldn't hunt any game, let alone dangerous game, with a rifle that I had not shot with enough so that its use and accuracy was not virtually automatic. My Sauer 202 fits that for me, and I have used it enough that its slick bolt and large, bright scope allows me to get on target fast and work the bolt with ease for the follow up shots. I have also had enough 'time' on it that I find that with the 375 H&H barrel mounted, recoil is not an issue. The open sights are also fast to pick up if I wanted to use it with the scope in heavy brush, where it would be an ideal bear rifle in Alaska or in Africa on buffalo, which I understand the 375 would do just fine, but would prefer something a bit more stout if it was my fat butt on the line!

No matter what you shoot, bolt or DR, practice makes perfect -- and safe. Dave
