Quick answer to your question - I love my 416 Ruger in the Hawkeye! Shoots great, very accurate, and balances nicely with the Leupold 1.75x6X scope I have on it. Gonna try to shoot another box or two this week. I am one who likes the Hogue overmolded stocks, and the "sticky" feel, and the size and swell fits my large hands very well. Sights seem very durable also. even with the 20 inch barrel. A 23 inch tube in the African would be sweet.

Saw last year where someone had ordered the African -23" tube with the Hogue overmoded stock..looked pretty cool and personally that is the way I would like to go---BUT, that stainless would be nice for teh coastal bear hunt...

Guess one could just buy both and switch back and forth as needed...
