Recoil Comparing, opinions please.
26/02/04 04:58 AM

I have been looking for a big bore rifle and am trying to get a feel for the recoil. I have shot one big bore and would like you guys to tell me how some other cartridges would compare.

A friend of mine has a Ruger bolt action in 416 Rigby. I have fired a handful of rounds through that. It was a heavy but in a standing position very manageable. The two rifles I am interested in are the 375 H&H and the 458Win/458Lot both in a bolt action.

I had a chance to pick up a pre 64 Winchester model 70 in 375 H&H and passed. I will probably be kicking myself for that one. The guy was asking $2200 for it. It was in pretty good shape no major dings or marks. But I was unsure if that was a good price.

He also had a 1917 Enfield rechambered in 458win for $900 but I do not like the ‘cock on the push’ of the 1917. If it had been a Mauser conversion it would have been mine.

So I would love to here how you compare the recoil of the 375 and the 458 to the 416.

Thanks
