[QUOTE="Buckmaster, post: 114828, member: 5638"] An overwhelming number of PH's carry the 458 Lott. Recoil is close with the 416 Rigby & 458 Lott, but the Lott does have a bigger diameter. Plus, the lott can use 458 Win ammo which can be found easier if needed and can be built on a wide variety of actions. If you compare the 458 Lott to the 460 wby or 450 dakota you get about half the recoil with the lott. Yes, I may ONLY be hitting him with 5600 lbs of energy vs 6700 lbs, but so what if I can't shoot straight. In fact, if I can't shoot straight and wound him, I'm more likely to get charged! Seems to me that the 458 lott is the best choice for a DG rifle....even if you can stop a charge with a 416 Rigby. [/QUOTE]
