Well, the rifle matters greatly to a certified gun nut. So does cartridge matter to most gun nuts and to those who have drunk from the well of African tales of hunting big and dangerous game.

As I have said before and currently in another thread, the 375 H&H is never out of place on an African Safari and that includes the plains game.

I took a Blaser 30-06 with a 375 H&H scoped barrel. I started and ended with the 375 and realized as many others have previously, it is one of the world's closely perfect compromises in any human endeavor.
