hey guys first id like to say i like all big bore rifles they all have there place but lets look at the 2 areas that big bores fall in on one side u have hunting rifles and then u have stopping rifles all the 416s qualify as both as do the 458 win mag and 404 jeff but look at the 416 ruger in a different way its 20 in barrel is shorter makeing it lighter ande quiker to weild its just about rite for a phs back up rifle plus it has great iron sights that a quick to pick up fast that why i bilt my 460 mag with a 22 in barrel wat realy matters how it fits u
