That's probably an even better buzz for the buck.

I do like the way yours is set up.

.416 Rem seems to be one of the most popular DG rounds from what I've heard, read and been told.

Good bud killed a 41" buff in Zim last year with his .416 Rigby in a Ruger RSM. PH carried a .416 Rem in an older push feed M-70. He liked the RSM, but said it was too heavy. I guess he figured on carrying his .416 Rem a lot more than shooting it. PH liked the 400 TSX, which is what took out the buff, one shot. He did run, but died. Bullet mushroomed, went thru approx 50" of buff.

Guess that PH didn't understand how "un-cool" his PF actually was... Probably not a Fire contributor, or he would have known.. blush

cool.
