Hello Wannabe:

So based on all the inputs, you have cemented my resolve (thankfully) and have thoroughly convinced me that going with the Rigby was the way to go for me. I say "was" because the rifle order has been placed in a .416 Rigby. I have the bigger big bore spectrum well covered, but the Rigby fills a hole in the small big bore arena.

I have found that the bullet weights are pretty versatile with the .416, with several companies offering light for caliber as well as heavy for caliber bullets. The Barnes 300 grain TSX bullets will be a nice reach out to the caribou bullet with good BC with the long for weight nature of copper.

As I have come to discover in a very big way over the last year, Woodleigh is our friend and offers a comprehensive selection of weights that covers the entire spectrum nicely and will work for close up Dugga boys as well as distant larger antelope, zebra and the like, not to mention moose and possibly large black bear at home when one can't afford the exotic trips, and that would be me most of the time.......

The Rigby would seem to be an excellent caliber, a close utilitarian cousin but to the heavy side of the venerable .375 H&H. Able to sort the big boys, but also able to reach way out there and slay the Oryx in the arid sections of Namibia...... I know my future will be filled with a great deal more whitetail deer and caribou hunting than any other type of big game, and all of my really cool (to me) hunting rifles are waaaaay overboard powerful for such diminutive creatures, but oh well, they will work and with the scoped Rigby, I feel I'll be comfortably able to go chase after even the longer shooting distance caribou every year.
