458 AR musings and questions...

I presume that it can't fire a 458 win mag -- I don't see how it would, but it seems as if everything else shoots a 458 Win, so I thought I'd ask...

Now, I saw a nice 7MM Mag Ruger in stainless w. the canoe paddle stock -- what's the mag capacity if it's converted?

If I can learn to handle the recoil, it seems like it'd make a good "toting" big bore... not that my Mark X 458 win mag, or 375R alaskan don't already fill that role...

it won't SAFELY shoot a winmag, though I haven't tried one in it....

with the paddle stock, and some mag work, you can easily get 2+1, and may get 3+1 .. and your ruger will EASILY push over the top feed...

ask some of the fellas with em what they think of them!

Ask me in 6-8 weeks and I'll tell you what it feels like to shoot with a weighted boat-paddle. I swear the boat-paddle is the "test-mule" stock ... promise! lol
