TIKKA AND 416 RUGER

[LISBON]

Looking to build a gun for Africa Dangerous game. I believe the dimensions work for a Tikka action and the 416 Ruger.
Does anyone have experience they can share?
Advice?
Load?
Will the action take the pressure?
Thanks All!

I ran a 350gr matchking at 2700fps out of a tikka and didn't die.

Your more manly than me !! I had a 338 Wm once in a T3 and after 9 shots my brain was shifted around in my skull I couldn't shoot it any more.

It did everything fine
Initial proof of concept with no brake and that crap tikka stock was horrible. Shoulder looked like hamburger.
