Always Liked my .405 Winchester, big medicine for any ailment you may have!

Fixed it for ya....High-end, ultra expensive, custom affairs can still be had, but they are naturally pricey.
Regarding the mass producers of bolt-actions, two come to mind:
The little experience I've had with the CZs have been most positive. Happy hunting.
- CZ makes rifles in .500 Jeffery, .500 Gibbs, .416 Rigby, .404 Jeffery, .458 Winchester Magnum, .416 Taylor, .375 H&H, 9.3x62㎜ Mauser, et al.
- Ruger makes rifles in .416 Rigby, .375 Ruger, .338 Win Mag, et al.
Of course it didn't thump you - very few men are as built as solidly as you are. @MountainBear is an aptly descriptive user name....I had a .458 for a few weeks. It didn't recoil enough. Too used to shooting steel buttplate military rifles I suppose. Possible I like to feel recoil. Reminds you you're alive...
I expect I will build a 9.3x62 at some point on a Mauser action.
I may build something obscenely if at some point like a .505 Gibbs, but that's way in the future...
Had a CZ 550 Safari in 416 Rigby. That was a beautiful, sexy beast!
The rifle was sighted for 200yd and a 350gr Solid at 2300 fps.
Five shots, and I would have a bloody bruise on my shoulder. I started to develop a flinch, so sold it.
I'm never going to Africa to hunt, so don't regret it. I enjoyed it's aesthetics when I had it.

When I had a Ruger 375 I dreamed of making it a 30 cal. Now you can just go buy a 300PRC.It was something that was wildcatted right after the 375 Ruger came out. I've seen it called the .338-.375 Campfire, being mamed after the website 24HourCampfire.com
