My AHR (CZ 550 action) .375 H&H weighs in 9lbs 2.9oz bare naked.
My Ruger Alaskan in a McMillan with QD rings, Leupold 2.5-8x36 and three rounds weighs 2 ounces less! Was a heck of alot cheaper too.
I prefer the lighter, trimmer, handier Ruger. While ammunition may be hard to find in Africa, I hear Hornady is working on changing that.
Until southern Africa is well stocked with .375 Ruger ammunition, I'd leave my Ruger Alaskan at home and bring a .375 H&H or 9.3x62mm.
I hear that the .375 Ruger is selling extremely well in Alaska, and ammunition is readily available on most shelves.
