I carried my rifle (before rebore) as a 375 H&H elk hunting this fall. It weighed 11 lbs with scope and wasn't a problem. If the recoil isn't too unpleasant I'll leave it at 9.5 lbs without scope, 10.5 lbs with scope, mounts and sling ... A 458 Win Mag should kick a bit less than a 470 Capstick, by the way, Bloodnativ

Thanks guys,

Chuck
