I am where you are 10 years ago. My CZ 416 Rigby was too heavy, too bulky, too long. Replaced it with a Ruger 416 Guide Gun
and couldn't be happier. It is lighter, more compact, stupid accurate, easy to load for.
The stainless steel barrel/action, great iron sights, it's compact platform are all good.
The muzzle brake is not obnoxious due to it's radial design, is easily removed and really
dampens the recoil.
The Guide Gun is a utilitarian tool that gets the job done. You may not have this
viewpoint right now, but it works for me.
At 67 years old I can not longer drag boat anchor rifles thru the jesse all day chasing ele.
Good luck with your choice, lots of good advice and experience posted above.
