"My only real decision at this point is caliber. Its going to get used daily for maybe 10 years before I go to Africa and I had hoped that I could do a 9lb 375 Holland that would end with me kiilling a Cape Buffalo with it. I've been shooting a .375 Ruger #1 and even with reduced loads the recoil is a bit much. So I may end up with a 300 Win. and hunt plains game. I just don't know yet."

Sharps,

If you have Hagn build a complete rifle for you, they can make you one with interchangable barrels. The price might be high enough though that buying two rifles would be appealing.
