Well, I've got a Ruger .416. It's got a Mag-Na-Brake and a large recoil pad. Still kicks like a rabid mule - rather light rifle methinks. Why a .416 Ruger? Well, I've hunted Africa with a Remington .416, a Ruger Magnum in .458 Lott, and a .577 NE. Now I'm taking my .416 Ruger - just to be different, that's all. The Cape buffalo don't know the difference, do they?
