I use the .375 alaskan as my primary hunting rifle here in Mt. I also have a .416 Alaskan that I used this past fall for Cape Buffalo in Zimbabwe. The 375 is quite tolerable to shoot but there is a DEFINATE step up in recoil when you go to the .416. Not unbearable but it is very noticeable! Good Luck!
