Guys, thanks for all the info, keep it coming. Let me explain a few things. I'll be hunting plains game including kudu and gemsbok. Eventually I plan on going after eland and grizzly so I thought I should purchase this gun while I could. I shoot heavy shotgun loads (3 1/2") all the time while goose and turkey hunting (Browning Gold). I have a 300 Weatherby with a brake that kicks like a 270, when I take the brake off it kicks hard off the bench. I have developed a slight flinch from shooting 3 1/2" Mag Blend turkey loads off the bench while patterning my gun. I have other rifles that I could use in Africa, I just like the Ruger. I'd hate to buy the gun and then find out I can't handle the recoil.
Bob
