Which caliber over .458

I would like a .470 NE but it would likely need to weigh more than I want to tote.

I've already decided a 10.75 lb 450/400 3" is about my limit in recoil.

My Merkel with scope weights 11lbs. Recoil is not that bad.

I think the 450-400 was Jim Corbett's heavy rifle. Can't argue with that.

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?
