From another post, there seems to be some question whether the Ruger only loads will survive over time. http://www.rugerforum.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=98637
My son and I fired the 416 the other day, and fell in love with the handy rifle! While we don't really need a dangerous game rifle where we live now (I have a Marlin .45-70 Guide Gun anyway), I am a former Alaskan resident and my son would like to return there some day. Would go .357, which is probably overkill for even the biggest bears.
Any guess on what ammo availability will be like in the future?
