Gunsmithing (no politics)
Noxx:
It's a hell of a round, and definitely the big kid on the block among the classics. I can't shoot it well offhand, it gives me a vicious flinch. None of the big game rifles are a picnic, but that and the 505 Gibbs are just brutal.
Edit- forgot to add 460 weatherby to that list. Shot it once in college in NM. F that rifle. Right in the neck.
GarandMarine:
I'm probably going to fit my .458 with a muzzle break eventually. That should help with felt recoil a little bit. The key is doing the break up in such a way so as to not brutalize the rifle's aesthetic.

I will possibly consider conceding this point the second Smith & Wesson brings back the Triple-Lock mechanism. Maybe.
GarandMarine:
Actions purchased. Level up!
Mauser + 2
Soon shall come the forging, and the riddle of steel.
Edit:
Been considering a caliber change, I'm not set into this yet so it's not a big deal if I decide on a different cartridge. The .375 H&H Magnum seems pretty desirable with a nice stat line, even if it's "adequate" for most African dangerous game. Larry Potterfield over at Midway makes a pretty compelling argument about the round. Noxx, any wisdom you want to share on the round?

you are clearly going senile.
the RUGER Sec6 is clearly one of the top three revolvers ever made.
The S&W 65 is superior in smooth trigger pull, but lacks in robustness.
and the RUGER GP100 is (im told) a perfect hybrid of the two.
but I'd put the S&W 686 in the top 5.
