Congratulations!

Last summer I got a Ruger #1 in 450/400 NE 3" and now I'm paying on layaway for a Ruger #1 in 458 Lott.
I'd always wanted a Ruger number one, if I could, I'd own many more. Be sure and tell us what you think of the rifle- shooting it- the recoil- anything you experience. This might be important, because something could go wrong and you'd mistakenly think the Big Bore was not for you, when it may well be another factor entirely, like stock fit. I might try a different pad, but in the past a fairly hard pad was preferable to me than one too soft. I'll be curious to see what you think.
