I live in Africa, Zimbabwe, and get to hunt once or twice a year. My battery is a Verney Carron O/U double in 375 Flanged Magnum, new addition, that will be for buffalo and close big PG, Ruger no1 in 375 H&H scoped with a Leica illuminated dot 1-6.4 x 24 for buff an down a bit further away, and a 30-30 Marlin with a small Leupold AR green dot scope for impala and warthog size down. All of these rifles are really light, but recoil is not a problem at all on the 375,s. I would rather have a light carry rifle in Africa in November. Also choose thin cotton, not synthetic, and long pants and long sleeve shirts if you are in a tsetse area. We also love our Courteney boots here, unthinkable to hunt without them.
