Stock design is the most important aspect related to increasing or decreasing felt recoil.

The Ruger #1 is the perfect answer in design and weight for a heavy recoiling round for many people. They fit pefectly for many of us. A friend's #1 in .375 H&H was a much more pleasant shooting rifle than any .300 mag I've ever fired. We shot the .375 off and on all day, eventually pounding off 80 rounds, 40 each, along with the other guns we'd brought which included my .458 Alaskan pushing 400's out at 2,350fps. The .458 weighed 10 pounds with 2X Leuy scope and while recoil was brisk, it was certainly controlable. The .375 felt like a .222 on the shoudler and was my go-to when I became weary of shooting the .458.

Going to Africa? - taking a #1 in .375 would be my choice. Best all-round ctg. there is. MK10 Mauser's built in .458 with laminate stocks to 10 pounds with scope, 9 to 9 1/2 without scope would be my choice for a dedicated .458WinMag.
