I have never owned, nor will I ever own, a .260 Remington!

House rules: no rifle chambered for a cartridge younger than I am, is allowed in my gunsafe.

Note to self: check introduction date for .416 Taylor...

If I can manage to file up the replacement rear scope-base and make rings to fit the Rigby before the roar, that delightful little sporter will get a walk in the Cressbrook valley in April.

God willing....

I seem to remember some rifle, perhaps even a plastic fantastic rifle used by a gentleman from Darwin, in Queensland ... I don't remember the chambering ... but the horror of it did burn in my memory ...

As for the .416 Taylor, its correct nonmenclature is the .416 Chatfield-Taylor. As such being hyphenated, it at least pretends to a pedigree.
