Ironbuck,

They are fun rifles to have. My brother had a 458 WM some years ago on a Ruger M77 and it was fun to shoot. I have a 375 Chatfield-Taylor on a Ruger M77 fitted with a 2-7X33 Leupold (gives good eye relief). I have had this rifle for years but only a week ago decided to work up some serious loads. It shot very close to MOA at 100 yards from the bench (not all that pleasant from the bench) but at least I didn't flinch. One day I'll get after Water Buffalo in the Northern Territory (of Australia). Might bring it over to the US of A and use it on bear some day too.

You don't need a reason to have a big bore just a passion to have one.
