A few months ago, I sold my 416 Taylor and have been crying in my coffee because my 375 doesn't bust up stumps like my 416 did. Ruger does not seem to want to make the 416 in the African and I'm more inclined to the Mark I's than the Hawkeye, because of the tang safety. So the building bug is crawling around in my head.
A couple questions. What is the outside diameter of the barrel at the muzzle. Did you put another recoil lug under the barrel, or did you bed the piece of flat steel that Ruger put in? How much does this rifle weigh? I would suspect that as light as the African is, it might be a bit of a snot knocker?
Please keep the reports coming.
Thanks
