I don't know if this has been posted before, but I thought that it might be of interest to some: 416 Ruger Video. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | ||

What was interesting was the advertised velocity. 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S. (Founder) | |||

Doesn't everyone round 2325 UP to 2400????? So the claim is 2400 the ad says 2325 wonder what real life will be. As usual just my $.02 Paul K | |||

They are claiming 2325 fps for 400-grainer out of a 20" barreled .416 Ruger. .416 Rigby factory ammo sure won't go that fast with 400-grainers from a 20" barrel. Add 4" of barrel and you are likely closer to 2425 fps with 400-grainer and the .416 Ruger. Might have to make it a perfect 23" barrel to slow it down to 2400 fps. Like the African. I wish they made them with 23" barrels instead of 20". | |||

Will all models have 20" barrels? Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure.

I'm sure the African will be available in the same trim as the 375 is i.e. with a 24" barrel? If you think every possible niche has been filled already, thank a wildcatter! | |||
