I have a Ruger 416 alaskan on order after a lot of research, handling and shooting a 375 Ruger Alaskan. I sold my 458 Mauser (can not afford both). I was at the range today at Little River and there was a gentleman with a 375 Ruger Alaskan and a 416 Ruger alaskan. I was able to handle and fire both rifles and this cemented my decision to buy one. The reason I like the 416 Alaskan is: When I picked it up and bought it to my shoulder it was right on target. The stock was one of the most comfortable factory stocks I have handled. The rifle was lovely and short, handled and swung well. The action cycled beautifully and fed smoothly. It holds 3+1. With hornady factory loads you knew when it went off, but it was not uncomfortable. Less recoil that my 458 but a pound lighter. AND I hit what I was aiming at off the shoulder and that is important to ME. I found it easier to shoot the my CZ 375, and my 458. Does it matter to me that it is not a Rigby, or a taylor or a Remington Magnum. No. Will anything I shoot know the difference (if I do my Part), No. I suppose someone said about most new calibres/cartridges they they were not needed/proven or would not last when they first come out. Just my humble opinion. I can wait for my rifle to get here.

Cheers Wayne
