44amp wow, you get my vote for the most informative and well written response. I am fully convinced now that for the cape buff I need something else. I m leaning toward the 458 just because it's so ubiquitous and I read used by more than half of the PHs. Can some one recommend a good brand for a new one?

I will however also keep the mark V order as I've always wanted one and as you said, the long range balidtcs are great. I think the VX 7 is going to be it for the 460 for now. These are built like a tank and I'll get a fixed close range for the 458. You only live once and I wanted both a Cape Buffalo kill and a Weatherby for fun at the range. As for kick, I've shot it before with and with out the break. All I have to say about that is "bring it on!!"
