Alone rifle, would take a .416... has proven very effective on everything over there..

I have always found it interesting how some rifles recoil is so noticeable over others..even in the same caliber --I know weight and stock design along with fit are usually the culprits.. I have a custom shop Remington in 416 that is what I consider mild to shoot given the caliber.. Also have a custom with Mauser action.. kicks like a mule, also in 416.. have a Winchester in 416.. seems more like the Rem
