So what seems to be the largest contributor to felt recoil? Powder charge? Velocity? Projectile weight? Max pressure? I know it's a combination of all of the above but curious if one input contributes more than the others. Where are the physicists here?

Same category animals count towards the Super Slam, how far are you into that? I plan on having a few "duplicates" as well in my journey. 1. White Tail & Mule Deer 2. Black Bear and Brown Bear 3. Mountain Caribou and Barren Ground Caribou. I'd love to hunt multiple sheep but I'm still...

I'm curious if anyone has shot the 416 Rigby back to back to back with the 416 RemMag and 416 Ruger and could comment on if there is any perciebable difference between them? The 416 Ruger has what, 20 grains less than the Rigby?

I had my 3 guns out for a shoot last weekend. My CZ in 375, my Model 70 in 458 WM and My CZ in 416 with the B and C stock. The 416 kicks less than the 458 WM shooting Hornady DGX but the CZ weighs atleast a pound heavier with rings and scope. It would be interesting to shoot a 458 Lott in the...

I try and convince the wife everyday to move to Alberta. She'll crack eventually.

I have a few buddies that live and hunt in SK. I was assuming that non-resident Canadians could hunt with a local SK resident to get around the guide system, similar to other provinces. I'm not seeing that detail in the reg summary though.

I just realized that a guided sheep hunt costs as much, if not more than the other 9 hunts combined...

I have a fairly aggressive plan kicking off this year. 2024 - DIY deer, black bear and Moose. I hunt these 3 every year so If I don't get one this year I will have reoccuring hunts each year until I'm successful. 2025 - Guided elk hunt in Alberta 2026 - Guided caribou hunt in Northern...

A Muskox hunt sounds like an adventure.

I'm guessing it's a newer addition. There is also apparently a Super 25 a Super 40 and a variety of other international combinations.

Completing the Super 10 in a hunter's lifetime seems to be a challenging, yet achievable goal. How many of you have completed the Super 10? what about the North American Super Slam? Here's a link to the official website for those that haven't heard of this. I'm officially starting my journey...

7 buffalo for $12,500? Sounds like a great value.

Think I just scored the last 416 A Frames in the country.

Yup, pretty light for a 416 or even a 375. My Ruger Guide Gun in 338WN weighs 8.1 lbs naked, you'd think they'd bump the African up to around the 9lbs mark. My 416 weighs 10.5lbs and it's still quite...lively haha. You going to add a scope and rings? Mercury pad?

The Hawkeyes are a nice sensible rifle, 416 Ruger is the cheapest ammo of the 416's. What does your rifle weigh I know they are notoriously light for caliber but Ruger has been gradually increasing the weight on them over the years.
