Looking at a Ruger #1 in .416 Rem Mag

I can buy a Ruger #1, with laminated stock, blue barrel, chambered in .416 Remington Mag, at what I think is a good price. This is a used rifle, but fired only a few times. It has been on consignment for some time now, at a shop I visit. I believe I can get it for $650, with rings, but no scope.
I have been reading up on this cartridge, and from what I see, its a powerful round, seems to be accurate, but not that popular. I believe its an offshoot of the 8mm Rem Mag.
I have an old Winchester Tropical, in .458 Win Mag, and shoot it every so often. I am not timid about recoil.
Guess this is another example of 'want', not 'need', with a rifle. 'Want'often wins out.
I think I just might have to buy this one. Bet it would make a great hog rifle!
Does anyone here have experience with this cartridge? If so, your thoughts please.
