New gun - the classic dilemma
      28/09/04 07:26 PM

I was recommended to contact you people on NitroExpress.com to get adequate help for my dilemma.
My pal and I took an oath, that we during the next ten years will go to Africa to hunt for cape buffalo. It's more likely the trip will happen in the last period of the decennium than the first, I'm afraid ;-)
However, that brings me to my dilemma, because then I have to get myself a new gun - big bore rifle. (hehh)
I decided that a double barreled rifle will be too expensive, so I will go for a traditional, well-functional bolt rifle, and by this point I'm looking into a Mauser M98 in 458 Lott, but is of course going to check for other rifles and calibers as well. I've never shot anything as big as a 458 Lott, and just hope to be able to cope with the recoil. (Is 416 Rigby much less kicking?)
However, recently someone told me that guns in 458 Lott often have problem to feed the cases. Is that correct? Should I go for a 416 Rigby and load it up a bit heavier instead?
