This might be case getting both of the rifles out to the range and actually shouldering them and firing them. Shoot them off hand, shoot them from the bench, shoot them from sticks, shoot them off of a pack...try them out. In the end, one will feel better than the other. As for the suppressor...

I'd like to hear more about this "poor balance" of the Safari Express...I will say that I've never owned the Alaskan, but I have shot them and carried them. I own and hunt with, both in the US and Africa, the Safari Express in .375 H&H. I can't say that I can recall an excessive difference in...
