I am not anywhere as experienced with the 458 WM as a lot here, but "comfortable to shoot" to me means a well fitting rifle, with some weight to absorb recoil. I went with a CRF Winchester model 70. As for a "nice looking rifle", the Ruger number 1 is hard to beat. That is next on my wish list. The traditional Mauser style bolt guns, are what I think of in a 458 WM. In my opinion the Safari Express model 70 in Super Grade, is about as beautiful and functional as it gets. My dream 458 WM would be a Mannlicher/Stutzen stocked Model 70 with a 20" barrel, in French Walnut.

I just looked, and Winchester doesn't show the Super Grade chambered in 458 WinMag now. frown I guess that might be a limited production gun.
