My now sold Ruger 77 .416 Rigby had feeding problems. It was an early model with no barrel band. I asked a gunsmith to smooth out the inner magazine walls and that sorted it. Never a problem after that. I also replaced the front sight with a larger white bead from New England to be easier to see than the little brass factory one. Also had another gunsmith put a thin platinum line on the rear sight to help quickly align them, (if using silver, it can tarnish). I found that quick detachable mounts by Warne were perfect as they fit straight on without tools and incorporate a recoil lug and look good too. Also fitted a 30mm tube dangerous game scope which, on the larger action, looked more appropriate. Also, it had a ocular ring that was spring loaded if it came back in recoil and made contact. Lastly, fitted a wide, soft leather carry sling!

It shot well, but I soon learned to hold the butt firmly against the shoulder. Now looking for a Heym in the same calibre - and a mortgage to pay for it. They Heym has a 5-round capacity, (+1 up?), the Ruger just 3 all up. Can't recall the CZ capacity. The world's largest elephant was shot with a purpose built .416 Rigby, and Commander Blunt shot 1,000 elephant with one, so I'm not sure why anyone would need anything bigger.
