Another beaufifully engraved Rigby My 450/400 31/4BP...almost insignificant besides that 416!. A nice sister to the 20 Bore of Amed577 though.

Cols history of 416. This is the prince who owned the 416. I am told it was a gift from king George on his Coronation. 94- 95- 96-

Yes, it's mine. Will try to post some pictures of the engraving. It's a .350 Rigby that has been converted by them to .375HH. Very fine rifle.

Please do, and, if you will, please tell us the barrel length, length of pull and overall weight. Ever since I first saw that post, I’ve been in love with that rifle! The engraving is very nice, but I find the overall form, like most lighter built Rigby’s, to be heavenly! You once posted pics of another incredible Rigby 375 ( http://forums.nitroexpress.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=229274&page=0&fpart=1&vc=1 ) that has very similar lines and composition. What, if anything, are the differences between these two lovely rifles? I understand that I’m opening up the discussion beyond the original topic, so I apologize, but these two rifles really fascinate me! Thanks.
