I was planning to but now I am wondering if it's worth it

What seven besides the buffalo did you harvest? I am going for buffalo, Sable, Gemsbuck, Kudu, Nyala and possibly Roan. If the distance is under 150 yards the 416 sould be fine I think. Beyond that I would choose the 375 H&H. Realistically, whatever the bush gives you will be dealt with by...

The Ruger is fast handling and i am still inclined with DGS 400 grain solids for Buffalo. That may change but for now It is my go to choice.

I will be shooting them aa soon as they arrive. I like the potential of the 416 Ruger. The ammo difficulty is the issue. I use them sparingly.

The 400 grain is out of stock currently according to the website. I did purchase two boxes of the 350 grain tsx cartridges.

With the 416 I would be shooting 400 grain bullets. Unfortunately, with the Ruger 416 I have no other option currently.

Recoil is no problem for me. I shoot both well. My original choice was to take the Ruger and my 338 Win mag. Use the ruger on Buffalo and the 338 on the plains game. I will weigh both in all three paired to see which is the lightest. For the trip. You make valid points. Thank you

I am planning a hunt with Schoongezicht Hunting Safaris in South Africa the last week of July. Looking for anyone who has hunted with this outfitter and their experience on the hunt.

I have the option to take one or both rifles to hunt buffalo..The first is a CZ 550 in 375 H&H. Ammo is available in the US. The other is a Ruger in 416 Ruger. Hornady hasn't made ammo in 2+ years but I have enough 300 grain dgx or dgs for either rifle. One and done with the 375? I am hunting...

I have sticks. The same ones I see on several videos. Yes, I will practice before I go. It has been a couple of years since I used them. Practice with sticks is a common recommendation. I saw a company on this site that was recommended by several people here to use to get the rifles through...

Yes, I was planning on it. Would it be better to rent one there? I was planning on taking my Ruger 416 and a 338 Win Mag. The Ruger ammo is hard to find. I have enough for the trip if think.

Yes it will be my first time there.

I am excited to be going to South Africa the last week of July this year. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
