Both have about the same ballistics. The Rigby is cool in that it's classic and warms the hearts of those of us that love the old guns.

But as far as any being "better" in the field, I doubt there is a nickels worth of difference. 416 bullet of 400 grains at 2350 to 2450.

Myself, .........my favorite 416 is the Taylor. Same bullet at 2350 to 2380 FPS. BUT---------- It fits on a standard length GEW Mauser. So it carry's nicely in the hand compared to the Magnum Mauser with the drop magazines (like my 404) And it uses nicked down 458 brass which is easy to get, and a lot less expensive.


In short the 416 Taylor is the best value in a 416 rifle you can get, buy a wide margin. And it uses dies that cost less, uses less powder, and less expensive brass. that all means more shooting for the dollar and shooting a rifle a LOT is the thing that makes you a better marksman.

Just my 2 cents worth
other will disagree. And that 100% cool. It's what keeps me in business.

Curious about the .416 Taylor? Have read about this..seen info on NE numerous times, etc..but have never checked it out thoroughly.. As you are a gunsmith..wondering why you feel its the best of the best ??? Never know, IMHO, can never have too many .416's..

Is it more a matter of price? As the .416 Rem can be purchased on controlled round feed actions as well..I have a new Winchester model 70 in my gun room..still in the box actually...

Just curious is all..
thx
