Garand,
What I was referring to was the weight.
Obviously the larger caliber ruger Africans have a larger countour barrel, but they're not heavy.
At the recoil level of the 375 ruger and the 416 ruger, the barrel contour is appropriate. I wouldn't want them any lighter.
The Lipsey's African 9.3... was sure made for carryin'.
