I really like the rifle and cartridge.
I also have a M70 Classic stainless re-barrel to 416 Rem. I like this rifle also. Though have only shot it a few times.
For my distances, the 416’s fit right in. And I have had very good accuracy with the 350 grain bullets. Which I consider near ideal for anything in North America.
The 416 Ruger and Remington versions, I can still shoot in the sometimes out of position game shooting positions as a “normal” recoil rifle. My 458 Lott, I have a bit more respect/concern over contorted shooting positions.
I hope you are able to get hands of 416, I believe you would have a lot of fun with it.

I'll have to check out the 416 R Alaskan.

I've wanted to play with a 416 Rem Mag for a long time and NO ONE close to me has one that I can PLAY with.
Great idea. Thnx
