I built one on a Ruger 77 action. First stock was poorly inletted. It came apart. Second stock was well done.
Foolishly I let it go the other year when I gave up on ever getting back to Africa. I loved mine. I shot a lot of 350's and 400's with Reloaded 15. It was unbelievably accurate for me. I didn't find recoil that bad, but I'm not the sharpest marble in the box. Never got to shoot anything bigger than a groundhog. I'd stick to those little 350's for them. Plenty of penetration
If you can lay in a supply of cast bullets and some Trail Boss or 5744, you can have a blast. The brass was easy to form and she was cheap to shoot for a big bore.
Wish I still had mine. If I could find another one that I could afford, I'd buy it.

Go for it!
