Great info, thanks to everyone. I think in the end I will try to get a 375 used here in Canada (I can still use it for moose, bears and big northern deer) and see where I end of going and what the outfitter has. I rented a rifle my first plains game trip and it was fine except I would practice a bit to get used to the trigger (I shoot Sakos and Tikka's) and the gun I rented was a Browning, which was fine but had a different trigger pull. The other thing that complicated my situation is that a Canadian Flying through the US with a gun is almost as bad as flying through Britton! So while I love my rifles and would rather hunt with them, my guns are more of a tool for the hunt for me and it’s kind of fun to try new guns. And the money I would save of flights and renting the rifle would mean I could potentially spend more on another animal or a longer stay. So one of the deciding factors I guess will be what the outfitter has available for me to use. I'll choose an outfitter with workable guns. I will also insist on shooting it a bit more than a few shots off the bench to make sure I'm used to the trigger and cycling the action fast. Might me a few more bucks in ammo but seems silly to travel have way around the world to hunt and worry about 50-100 bucks to get used to a gun? One thing is for sure- and sorry for being preachy, but we all need to work to make sure that our kids can do this when they are old enough. I think it’s as important to African wildlife as is it’s for us.
Cheers and thank you for your help from the frozen north!
