The original Maharajah who owned it as the first .416 Rigby shot over 1600 tigers, plus a great many other game. Also three African safaris.

I think it indicated in the comments, he used the rifle on a lot of species. Shot it out. So it was later re-barrelled with a new .416 set of barrels and the original set rebored to .470. Quadruple the fun!

But it also goes to show, a .416 No.2 Rimmed double rifle might just be a great allrounder choice for dangerous game AND plains game.

I'd LOVE one! I would spoil it by adding a low poowered lighter variable scope, a 1-#x scope with a good heavier reticle. Hopefully it would regulate well enough at closer ranges for 400 gr projectiles with express sights ie if regulated with a scope, A plains game rifle IMO needs a scope nowadays even if only a 4x. 4x actually is my choice of hunting scope powers, a 6x or 8x is only needed for small game or ridiculous long ranged shots.

I would love a Rigby double rifle in a .416 No. 2 Rimmed. But NO WAY could I ever afford even their starting price.

So if a different maker turns out some chamberings, a Heym or Verney-Carron for instance, then it will be a choice between the .416 No.2, a .375 Flanged or a .375 V-C.
