Guys, thanks for your responses, I'm going to look at the Ruger African in 375 Ruger today, the concerns that I have with the African is that it is light and I was worried about the recoil . I thought if I went with the RSM the extra weight would tame the recoil, apparently from what everyone is saying they are a ton to carry around. I also like the quarter rib on the RSM. I'm also concerned about the availability of ammo in Africa if the airlines lose my 375 Ruger ammo. I'll let you guys know what gun I finally end up with.
