History will play a small part in the selection. It's what floats your boat at the moment. I love Rugers and since the Rigby is the only 416 chambered, I got one. The only problem with the Rigby is cost. I get all my ammo at cost and it's still expensive to shoot. Rigby brass is expensive also. I let a few guys shoot it and because they're used to slightly shorter actions, it's always being short-stroked. It's just another skill that has to be mastered on the range before I run with it.
