375 or 458 Lott/ackley...?
OK:
I've spent 550 for a display grade 550 Safari Magnum in CZ, in 375.

I took the gun to our local smith, had him rebed, check the gun for free travel, to avoid breaking the stock, and the gun drives tacks, with an elite 3200 3X-9 on it.

The recoil is harsh, but liveable.

I like 45, so I found a FN, 458 Win mag, for 950.
NO SALT.

Should I trade, or buy, for a trooper Mark 3 22 lr, Kimber Ultra carry II, with tricks, or, 375, H&H, though it was a display model, with great wood, for 550?

Also have a Beretta 950 22 short...

for trade..

Soc,
If I understand what you're asking, why not consider having both? Sounds like a fine pairing for Africa, to me.

Don't sell them socs you will regret it down the track. Only sell if you hate the gun your thinking of selling [Smile]

Do what delites you, you don't have to ask other folks what you want to do!! If your happy with a trade that is the only thing that counts.

Yep. I sold a Detonics 45 Mark VI, and I'm still mad about it.

On the other hand, I've sold Browning Hi-Powers, PPK/S, P-38's, etc. and been delighted, because I despised the caliber...
