I agree with everything thats already been said here. I have a Ruger M77 in .458 lott and the sling mount is on the barrel. From a rest it will frequently fire a group at 100 yards with all the shots touching if I do my part properly. Adequate for any large game. CZ does make a model with the sling mount on the barrel. It is called the CZ 550 Safari Classic. I have had one and they are very nice rifles. My advice is to get a good rifle in a big enough caliber that you can afford, and go ahead and go on Safari!
