I will start to my 29th trip to Afrika in October. I do not hunt on every trip, but my Ruger No1 Tropical in 375 H&H never made any problems. It is scoped with a 4x20 Nickel Scope. Baboon on 250 m or Buffalo on 30m, plains game on various distances, this gun tock a lot of game in Afrika. Take the rifle you are confident with and that fits you. The first shot counts !
