A 375 H&H is a fantastic rifle. I owe a Sako and it is the only riffle I hunt with. I only hunt with solids, Impala bullets. I have never tracked an animal for more than 40 yards with very little meat damage. I only eat venison, so it is important for me not to waste meat or have a lot of bone splinters in the meat. A 375 is good up to 300m. I use a lynx 1.75x5x 20 on my 375. A big bell infront raises your scope to much, you want your scope as close to the barrel as possible.
You don't need any other rifle if you hunt in Africa, the ph can carry the back up rifle, he will only maybe need it on a DG hunt.
