The Rugers will work well. Just never seen one in our guides or clients hands.
Mauser action 458 win mag has never let me down and has stopped enough brown bears to know it works.
And now I have lied. All this and I forgot a buddy had a client with a Ruger 416 ruger leave it as a tip and he now uses it. no flies on it.
Another has a blaser straight pull rechambered to 416 ruger. Thats a sweet rifle for sure.
So yup, I forgot, one ruger.
As to 3 position safety why? myself and other guides, never use safety. if there is a round in the chamber IE the need for it, the last thing I want is a safety failing. Hunt safety off, and may well remove it eventually, cold chamber as a guide until....and I maintain control of my rifle at all times so I know if the bolt might open... YMMV
