I think your reasoning makes a lot of sence. Either the 416 or the 375 can do double duty as a DG rifle or a plains game rifle. My 458WM and 375 Wetherby don't quite fit the double duty framework because the 458 doesn't have the trajectory to reach a Coke's hartebeest way out there but I would feel comfortable shooting out to about 200 yards with it. The 375 Weatherby should be excellent at 30 or 300 yards. I don't think there is a perfect coupling of 2 rifles for everything. Any combo I can come up with has some flaw.
