What a great pair of rifles. I could see a big game hunter covering anything with those two, unless maybe something shorter and handier might be useful in a heavily wooded area.
For more open country though - yup - that's a mighty fine pair. You've got it all covered, from mule deer & antelope right on up through elephant. Nice...

I do on the 416 and the 300 because they came with them. (Thank heavens on the 416). The 270 Wby doesn't have one. The recoil isn't a problem even on the 460 Wby I shot a few times. It's the second hit to the eyebrow by the scope because I got more concerned about hitting the elk than I did about holding tight to my shoulder that hurts.

Very nice looking rifles Greg! Are you taking that big one antelope hunting like someone we know? :lol: I've never been charged before by a 120 pound antelope, but pound for pound I think they are one of the toughest animals out there! At least from what I have had the fortune to hunt so far anyway!
I cannot wait to hear if they shoot for you! More pictures please............

The most painful ever was the 378 Bee to me. But on a general basis I like brakes on the 378 and up.
I can shoot any 300 338 or 375 rum all day long with no problem either with no brakes.
