[QUOTE="sambo3006, post: 498597, member: 2740"] I've never been to Africa but...if and when I get there for a mixed bag hunt including a member of the Big Five I'll likely be toting my 416 Rem Mag. 400 gr bullets at 2400 fps pack lots of punch for <100 yds shots on big stuff and still shoot flat enough for shots to 300 yds on nondangerous game. Mine is a Rem 700 with open sights and a Kahles 1.5-6x scope in QD Warne rings. Ready to hunt it weighs about 10 lbs and recoil isn't bad at all, about like a 3" 12 gauge load. My only modification might be a Sako extractor for extra reliability. [/QUOTE]
