The .416 Rigby hasn't been made in huge numbers either. There have only been about 2000 .416 Rigby rifles produced - ever. Ruger made over 1000 of those. And in the entire life of the cartridge, 105 years, Rigby has only made about 550 of them.

You really think it is low as 2000?
Condidering the Continental makers, I would think they made twice as many as Rigby did. Mahillon, Francotte, Casartelli etc. all made 416s.
Mauser did a run back in 2000 iirc too.
Then surely a few hundred made by American custom makers and the bigger makers like Hoffman and G&H.
Heck, there's about 100 of them for sale on gunsinternational right now...

I should have kept my Mahillon...
