I just handled a .458 Lott at the Dallas SCI show yesterday. Looks just like the .375 just a tad heavier but I couldn’t get a chance to weigh it. One of the guys in the booth mentioned that they may bring out a .416 latter but wouldn’t say if it was the Rem or Rigby.

I am surprised it is a 458 Lott and not a 458 Win as the article I read stated the 458 Win was the new caliber released for 2008.

As to whether to buy the new Ruger or this one..IMHO, I would take the Kimber any day of the week over the Ruger... those that mentioned on earlier posts stating the production costs were kept down on the Kimber need to really look at the work on the new Ruger--talk about something slapped together... and yes I realize it is less than half the cost of the Kimber--IF the Ruger is what $900 will get you --I'll spend the $3000.. actually more like $2600 at the local Sportsman's Warehouse...As also mentioned.. if you can afford to go to Africa on a hunt or two--the extra might be well worth it versus a stay in the local hospital or worse.

While I agree all the magazines have something to sell so you will never see too bad of a write up--to date I have not read much if anything on the negative side regarding this gun. Also have visited with a couple who have purchased the new Kimber and are very happy with them..

Personally I am waiting for the new Winchesters to hit the floor but I hear the largest caliber currently being planned is .338 Win...hopefully the bigger calibers will show up again as well..
