John Taylor wrote fondly of the .350 Rigby but he too was even fonder of the .375. An original .350 Rigby rifle is a great prize nowadays. The only complaint I can see is that the sectional density of a 225 grain bullet in .35 caliber is a little lacking compared to a 300 grain .333 Jeffery, etc. But this is charts and tables gun writer stuff. Taylor had no trouble with the cartridge.
Gavin Gardner had a magnificent original .350 Rigby a few years ago, housed in an airtight “deed box” made especially for the rifle. What a prize that would be.
