15 African Safaris plus a hunt in Poland and New Caledonia. Used my rifle for the first 7 Safaris, camp rifles for everything else. No complaints but then again I don’t care what I use as long as I hits where I aim. I figure I have saved at least $3000 over the years on permits and meet and greet fees. And if the outfitter you use has crap firearms to loan/rent- YOU ARE HUNTING WITH THE WRONG OUTFITTER! As an aside, I have taken elephants, buffaloes,, crocs, hippos, leopard, and tons of expensive plains game-and not on game farms. A rifle is a hammer and the game is a nail. I don’t care what I hit it with. I am a hunter, not a gun crank. YMMV
