I have a 416 Rigby and love it. I have fired the 416 Ruger in a Ruger. If i was to buy another 416 it would be the Ruger. It is lighter than my CZ550, shorter, quicker on target and felt recoil was less than with the CZ.
I agree. A friend of mine has the Ruger Alaskan (?) in 416Ruger and it is relatively light (8lbs?) but is no worse to fire than my CZ550 in 458WM. Good stock design.
Another friend has a 416Rigby but it is just marginally sharper in recoil than my 458, that comes from the extra 20 grains of powder but otherwise similar ballistics (eg 400gn at 2400fps). The 416Ruger has the same performance as the 416Rigby but out of a 20" barrel.
