easy come, easy go
I hunted deer with my brother's Sako when I was a teenager and that was the only rifle available.
I never did get a deer though. With the 375.
My brother did, and made the mistake of using expanding ammunition!
I have always thought that with controlled expansion ammo, that the 375 H&H is a good round for deer; excepting that it has excess power.
By the way, it is an excellent long range shooting firearm/ ammo combination that is overlooked by so many of the twenty first century shooters.
A great bear, moose, elk, caribou gun for North America. Not just Africa.
If I can remember correctly, there is a great variety of ammo available for it also.
The Sako was heavy. Sorry, but I don't remember the specific weight, but the recoil was not what I would call severe.
My brother, who had no sense for value, sold that rifle, probably fired no more than a dozen times -for $25 dollars. I was disgusted when I found out about it.
