Don't have a want or a need but if I were to fill it, it would be with a 338-06. In my dotage I am tending to fill gaps below 30 cal. I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all. Jack O'Connor

That's the way I'd have to go for most medium bores as they are either too expensive or not to be found except online. Being in PA I have no need for a 375 but this was all about want...not need.

But I very likely won't ever make it to Africa. But still...you get what you pay for.. cz/win or mossberg. Hmmmm

Just cause it is more for large game does not mean it cannot be used.

It's called "practice" the more you practice with a rifle (no matter the caliber) the better you will get.
