I have always been more of a rimmed cartridge (double/single/lever) guy (just old school I guess), but I have always been intrigued by the .416 Taylor.

First, just the fact that the much-maligned .458 WIN was improved by necking the case down to create a winner in .416 caliber, as Mr. Zihn has pointed out, matching the ballistics of one of the best all around African cartridges of all time, the Rigby, in a round that can fit in a shorter, handier action.

Second, being a lever aficionado, I would love some day to have a custom Browning BLR built in .416 Taylor or maybe the new .416 Ruger. That would be a modern levergun I would scope and use on virtually anything, anywhere on the planet.

Enough velocity to shoot relatively flat out to 200 yards, and enough power for dangerous game in a gun you can confidently and fully cycle without it ever leaving your shoulder.
