Re: Which .416

I have Rigby in the Ruger RSM and like the gun very much. I had one in a CZ550...it was the more accurate of the two in my hands.

I am a fan of low pressures being generated only inches from my face, and a fan of old and classic calibers, so the Rigby, a 404, 375...are all my front line choices, but just for that reason. If you run on to one of those Whitworth Express in 375...grab it in a flash! I had one and sold it for what I thought was way too much, but now have to pay way way too much to replace it. They feel and shoot great.

I've had a 416 Rem in a new Winchester safair classic, and can't fault the round, just the gun. The Rem boils up a bit more pressure than I like, however, but modern guns don't seem to mind.

With Speer's inexpensive ($14.00/box of 50 if you shop) 350 gr bullet, the Rigby becomes a decent plains game round. I use it for shooting 'yotes out my bedroom window...
