I'm off for 4 weeks hunting and fishing tomorrow. I'm heading to Australia's Northern Territory with a mates safari business. I'm taking my new favourite toy, a .416 ruger Alaskan. I've previously used a .458wm and .338 wm. The .338 didnt make it this season (due to airline weight constraints) and the I've sold the .458.
It's my opinion the .416 is 3 times the rifle the .458 is anyway. It's mild shooting the .400gn hornady's or woodleighs from it, and it has the legs to be a medium distance rifle as well. Something the .458 isnt really.
We will be knocking over wild dogs, feral donkys, pigs and buffalo.
here are some pics of my last trip there:
I'll post some reports when I'm back.
