Buy a used Winchester 70 crf in 416 REM Mag and rebarrel to 404J on mag insert file off the two protrusions on outside of box allows 3 Down in mag bolt face may need to be opened up a little as well
Never had a problem with any of my sako 85 rifles including larger calibre ones including several re-barrelled to wildcats.
But haven’t mounted scopes on 500J or 416 Rigby the iron sights work very well for me and before someone say young eyes mine are 70+ lol
It really depends on what rifle make I plan on using
Blaser R8 9.3x62 or 375 H&H
Sako with long or short action the 338-06 heavier bullet or 338 federal with 185 TSX both have Box magazines holding 5 rds
Traveling by air usually take Blaser R8 with two bbls one being 375 H&H if dangerous...
I used 338 federal for first safari took impala kudu blue wildebeest blesbuck warthog here in northern BC 2 black bears whitetail deer, mule deer
338-06AI 2 Black-bear
338 win mag elk moose
9.3x62 black bear bison
350 Rem Mag black bear white tail deer

Defiance actions are super did one in 30-06 when they first came out with crf beautiful rifle super smooth even after ceramic coating
Love the 404 J did mine on win 70cfr action tack driver did the job on my first buff. 470 for last one
They worked very well for me Cape eland at 200 yds found bullet just at skin picked out with fingers after passing through both shoulders and Buffalo at 20 yds first shot through chest broadside spun and ran for reeds second shot broke neck only one recovered broke a petal off in neck bone...
Yup it can happen when trigger pulled before rifle fully closed and locked on a 93
R8 won’t fire till fully locked I have both and dry firing experiments turned this difference up. Not a big deal to me as I don’t work action with finger on or in trigger guard period
Have her shoot off of sticks not bench and she should be fine with either 9.3 or 375 start with 9.3 move to a properly weighed 375 of sticks and use a past recoil shield to start
9.3x62 not quite as much recoil and mine will shoot sub Mia at 200 yds with Norma factory ammo and hand loads.
For brain shots a confidant shooter not worried about recoil is the ticket.
My load 2340fps with 81.5 viht 550 fed 215 primer Barnes 400tsx
Sight in at 100 7.5” low at 200yds
Perfect expansion at 200 cape eland both shoulders recovered under hide off side Cape buffalo at 30 broadside both lungs not recovered second running shot neck/spine where it dips into chest at...
Sako 85 in 500 Jeffery good sights I lengthened stock with thicker pad and added mercury tube to balance now comes up with natural point of aim with sights
Beautiful rifle would love to have it but tax man wants way to much this year and paying for hunt in 2022
Best of luck in selling it to a lucky new owner
