This is a question for all you Dangerous Game and African Safari
Hunters out there.

Which is your preference in an overall Dangerous Game Rifle?

Would you choose a Classic Bolt Action rifle in one of the big bore
caliber? .375 H&H on up?

Or would you go for one of the expensive Double Barrell Big Bore
rifles?

The common arguments are that Bolt Actions tend to be stronger have
greater accuracy and versatility while the doubles are more reliable in
a dangerous situation.

Would love to hear your view.

A Canon is way better than either. Your guide will probably carry a .458
bolt action or an FN .308 liberated from some army.

It depends what game you're going for, and the type of terrain
you'll be doing your hunting in.The .375 is plenty big enough
for all the cats. Lots of people have gone after elephant with
less, for buffalo probably a double .458 nitro express, he's the
real dangerous one. If you hit him you want to stop him or
you can be in trouble. Read Robert Ruoaks book "Use
enough Gun* a nice passage about buffalo hunting.
I hope you've got lots and lots of money.
