I dunno why but this name sounded good, I mean TK was an integral part of the community for so long why not name a rifle after him?

The idea here is a weapon to stop buffalo from ruining you (and I need revenge after they cost me a diamond kudu)
The .416 is a legendary rifle all over the world with a reputation for bringing down the biggest and meanest game , whether that's Kodiak island brown bears, Australia's Water buffalo, or Africa's Cape buffalo. It's a powerful rifle and hits with 4000 ponds of Kinetic energy, trusted by professional hunters all across Africa to keep their clients safe and stop a charging buffalo cold. It has a reputation for punching completely through even the biggest cape buffalo with 400 grain Solid bullets, and incapacitating lions with a single soft point point bullet to the chest, these are usually 400 grain jacketed soft points.

In terms of game balance, it would be second only to the .470 in penetration and recoil while still providing better performance on classes 7-9 than the .300 (should be 6-9) or .338. While the reload (similar animation to the Malmer 7mm) would be slower than the other 7-9 weapons, offering 3 rounds of high penetration rounds and the option of the Ascent 1-4 scope for slightly longer shots would make it compete with the raw speed and power of the .470 double rifle.

Whether this rifle comes standalone with a second Africa map(we don't need elephants and rhinos as bad as more plains game and buffalo/lion areas) or arrives with a nice little "African" Themed weapon pack, we seriously need a new option for 7-9 that can realistically stand up to buffalo, bison, and lions.

lemme know what you guys think

If anything 7mm should only be 3-8/4-8 (while being much better at taking big game than the other 3-8 or 4-8 weapons)

Honestly, I let it be the best 4-8 in my game and use the .470 for all the 9s, a bolt action 9 would be infinitely more helpful tho

A whole pack based of content creators would be incredible,Imagine a DD33 Brand Bow!

Flinter's would probably be a 7mm-08, he uses it every season lol

Update: I got the chance to shoot a .416 Ruger today, massive muzzle jump but reasonably controllable. The rifle is heavy (like 11 pounds I believe, maybe a 6 in game) but it very clearly is limited to around 250 yards max accuracy distance+ heavy bullets. It sounded like a cannon thru the earplugs and I can verify that the bullet i used, a 400grain DGX expanding bullet from Hornady, punched through a defunct tractor engine at 75 yards. Please put in Call of the Wild ASAP, I need revenge on buffalo
