You could always bring it down a notch with a 375Ruger. You may find a greater level of proficiency with its more manageable recoil. Using a 375Ruger would not preclude you from hunting and killing most anything you'd go after with the 416Ruger. But if you feel the need for a 416, I think the Ruger is hard to beat as it gives you great serviceable value for the dollars spent. I'm a big fan of the 416Rem, but the 416 Ruger makes more sense as a package today.
Now having owned the Ruger, I stuck mine in an old paddle stock as the big Ruger shares the same stock inlet as any of the magnum Ruger mkIIs (7mm, 300WM, 338WM). The paddle stock is lighter than the McMillan and it is as tough a rifle handle as you could ever get. It makes for a bomb proof package that can withstand extreme abuse. Ugly as sin, but it works without fail. It's not a stock that is too forgiving to poor form, but if you're squared away with good technique, it's not bad at all. Most important is that it will never let you down.
Best:) Thanks man.... recoil doesn't bother me i'm a weightlifer and I weigh 300 pounds so I havea lot of muscle and fat to absorb recoil. I like the idea of having more stoppping power... the .375... while flat shooting is only a 30 caliber 300 grain bullet, which is not enough in life threatening situations

I just got the 416 Ruger Alaskan and I absolutely love it, holds a great group with the express sights shooting the Hornandy DGX and S, however it will be wearing a new stock and some optics very soon.

I have a real hard time finding 300 grain .30 caliber bullets... and when I do, they just rattle down the barrel of a .375... Call me whimsical...or worse....
