RE: 416 win mag. OUCH!!
I have a .416 rem mag. I use to pad a heck of a lot of towels when I benchshoot. It did not use to bother me so much before I put a scope on it. I treated it more like a shotgun. Lift, small correction and bang. The scope really made me lean more backwards and probably loosen my stock weld too.
Heres one Ive had on before, but I like it so its rerun of a 4 bore shooter in trouble. Observe the guy behind him whose job it is to support the shooter if he needs it.

Snicker. An Iowa store hasRuger No. 1 in 416 Rigby which is another rip-snorter. It has been there almost 2 years; they are ready to go down in price. It has been tempting but I just don't need that big classic. $6 a round, too!

You could reload for it. That would cut the price down. If you can get it for a good price, you would never loose any money on it.
Thats how I got my Ruger 416 Rem mag. A guy had ordered the Rigby version and when it came in, it was the Rem mag and the guy would not accept it as he had already bought all of his loading stuff for the Rigby. I was there when he turned it down and the store gave it to me at their cost. It didn't matter to me. Anything you hit with either of thse calibers would never feel the difference.
