I am looking at purchasing a rifle for Cape Buffalo and maybe a future brown bear hunt.
I have been considering the Savage Bear Hunter in 375ruger.

A friend of mine, a PH in africa, suggested the 416rigby. He says the kick on it is a whole
lot more on his 375HH than his 416rigby. More of a slow shove than a sharp kick. plus the 416
has better knockdown.

Question 1: Is there a Savage platform that I can rebarrel to a 416rigby?
if not, then.....
Question 2: Can the Savage Bear hunter in 375ruger be rebarrelled to a 416 Ruger?


also, I'd prefer stainless synthetic.
