Interesting, I came to the same conclusions many years ago, if simply basing on factory ammo.
The differences in the numbers are interesting. I also suspect the Remington version would also be easier to work up very accurate loads due to the pressures being more "attuned" with modern powders.

Not quite with the accurate loads. I have a Rigby and all 400 to 410 grain projectiles I have tried throw to the same point at 100 and under the inch. This includes the Woodleigh Hydros which would eat into the powder space in the 416Rem. I have only used two powders, AR2209 and AR2213sc and again both to the same point of impact. The 2209 kicks less and is cleaner so it is what I use. Then again CZ make rifles that just seem to shoot.

I prefer the Rigby, probably because of the history and it just works but If I could only have the Rem 416 I wouldn't be cursing.
