I'm somewhat of a tradionalist when it comes to my first choice of a rifle. For example: I have a 375 H&H in a Whitworth Express with a beautiful wood stock that I just love. However, I also have a 375 Ackley Improved that started out as a Winchester Mod.70 Classic Stainless with a fiberglass stock. For beauty, originality, and the classic look, I reach for the Whitworth. Now as far as the 416 is concerned, I don't think much thought has to be given to the subject. The hands down choice is the 416 Rigby in your choice of bolt action. I chose the Ruger 77, and just love it. It balances well, has enough weight that it doesn't hammer your shoulder badly, has a well designed stock that doesn't punish your cheek or knuckles of your trigger hand, and just plain shoots well. Besides, who could argue with the Rigby tradition. It's as old as the 375 H&H, and still going strong.
