Two choices..416 Rigby and 458 Lott

The 416 has all the feel that only comes with those real big cartridges. In general terms it does the same sort of velocities as the 375 H & H with bullets of equal sectional density. Almost like comparing a 338 Winchester to the 30/06.

But if you want to play about shooting rocks, tins and small animals etc. the 458 Lott has the big plus of 45/70 bullets. Cases can also be made from 375 cases.

416 Rigby for genuine big game use being the main purpose of the rifle

458 Lott if big game shooting is to form a minor part of the rifles use.
