Can any of you gentlemen recall any famous persoanlity who is published that spoke at length about their use of the .350 Rigby magazine rifle?
In the terrific book white hunter, they speak at length of the rifle and its users, but was looking for a more detailed account.
Thank you

Karen Blixen was one. Look for threads on her rifle on these forums. Two of our members have visited the Blixen museum and posted photos.

WDM Bell used a .350 Rigby on elephant around 1912 or so. He did not write at length about it, mentioning it only a couple of times, but apparently it killed his elephants satisfactorily.
