Re: AFRICAN HUNTERS--DO YOU HAVE TOO MUCH GUN??

I’m not a highly experienced (hundreds of hours) rifle shooter or hunter. No African safaris, no grizzlies.

A .375 H&H in a 9.5 pound rifle is about all the recoil I want shooting from a bench. A .270 Win or 7 x 57 in a 6.5 pound rifle wears on me from the bench after 15 rounds or so. A scoped 416 Rigby in a 10 lb rifle is too much for me from a bench, though I have done it. The .416 and .458 are the largest rounds I’ve touched off and they seem about equal to me - the .458 being a Winchester Model 70 and the Rigby a griffin and Howe Brevex.

I’d want nothing to do with the .378, .416 or .460 weatherby cartridges. Even the .300 Weatherby has a vicious snap in a 7-8 pound rifle.

So I’m probably average or below in tolerance for recoil. And I’m not improving with age!
