As a rule I have found any Ruger #1 in big calibers unpleasant to shoot. My Ruger in 458 Lott is just unbearable. I have shot lots of big bore up to 505 Gibbs (which is way too much fun)and the Weatherby cartridges as a family are unpleasant. Earlier someone described a rifle as "making his molars bleed" and I have to say that's the way I feel about a 308 Norma Mag I had years ago. It weighed under 7# with scope and was just plain nasty.
I used to go on the AR forums starting in the '90s but the ass***s ran all the knowledgeable guys off. AlbertaCanuk was the last I knew that knew anything for sure.
