[QUOTE="Jerry M, post: 1129035, member: 6330"] Went on a big game safari in 2013. When getting ready i fired 100 rounds of not so wimpy reloads from a Ruger #1 in .458 Win Mag. That rifle hunt to fire! It felt like I suffered a case of whiplash after every range session. Went to Cabela's and bought a used Sako in .375 H&H. I was able to fire it without the same discomfort with stout 300 grain Hornady bullets. Killed a Lioness and Buffalo on that trip: [url]http://s119.photobucket.com/user/JerryM1316/media/IMG_0322_zps39177d54.jpg.html[/url] My suggestion is that you try any big bore rifle BEFORE you buy. There is a significant difference in recoil. A PH wants his client to shoot accurately the first shot to the last. You can't do that if the rifle beats you to death. Good luck Jerry [/QUOTE]
