I'm just an African hunting afcienado(sp). I crave anything about hunting in the Dark Continent, hell I bought a InterArms Mark X in .375 just for fun. I would have to agree w/the statement that it isn't the caliber, But the caliber of the man/hunter. If cost be damned IMHO and that's all it is- I would go for a nice Rigby, H&H or a W-Rs dbl. in 500 Nitro (stopper) and a 416 Rigby/Rem/Wthy in a bolt gun! Boy howdy! By the way that .375 didn't kick any worst then my bolt action Mossberg Slugster! In all realty. a .458 Lott would be the ticket in a bolt action as was stated that you could use the vernable .458 in a pinch. I read in my Cartridges of the World 8th Edition that the .458 is just "adequate" for use as a stopping round as loaded in "factory" state (reason for Jack Lotts wildcat). Just my 2 cents worth!
