Quote: No it doesn't say that. That rifle was chambered for a .416 Rigby ie rimless. The barrel was shot out and re-bored to 470 NE and a new set of .416 Rigby rimless barrels made for it. And the rifle reconditioned. It was never a .470/416, but two sets of barrels. And Rigby admitted per comments it was the only .416 Rigby double rifle they had ever made. To that point ... Quote: Again the link says the "Searcy" rifle was for a Ruger no.1 chambering. Secondly was this flanged cartridge a .416 Rigby flanged? Or just another flanged NE cartridge necked down to .416? What is the parent case and ballistics? I will ask Bruce Bertram. Lastly, a "rimmed .416" is of course not new. The .500/416 is a commercially available rimmed .416 and still chambered. As of "ol'Searcy" its pretty good his "ol" rifles don't have to be sent out of the USA for repairs ... from reports, two to three times or more for some rifles, before being sold on ... |
