As to the question, I currently have a 460 Weatherby, my second one as I stupidly sold the first. It kills rocks and deer like there is no tomorrow! I do not feel that rocks are dangerous game, nor are deer so I do not worry about the controled round feeding issues although I have never had an issue or a jam with and of the 4 Weatherbys I have owned. If I go to Africa I will take my 600 OK or my possibly my .458 Win or Lott but leave the Weatherby home. For rocks, deer, and elk I do not think the 460 Weatherby can be beat, but I like them! I also really like the very fast and humane kills that it makes in north american game. If you have always wanted one, buy one, you can always sell it later if you do not like it and they hold value. I have a friend who keeps pestering me to sell him mine.

I used to have a Ruger 416, and I did not like it. It shot great but the fit and finish was not what I felt it should be for a $1000 ( at the time, first run) rifle. The annoyance factor made me sell it and I have never looked back. I know plenty of folks think they are great and enjoy them, but I liked the Weatherby better. Maybe a better comparison is the CZ which is the Rigby I now own and like better that my original ruger. It is a fun one also, but does not kill rocks with quite the same umph.
