Thanks, Nick. I remember reading this article when it was first published. Seyfried (or a previous owner) has added a stock extension to the buttstock of that Rigby.

But we've sure come a long way since 1989, haven't we? Now we are awash in .416 Rigby rifles and ammunition. Which is as it should be!

gohip2000: As for why the Rigby ammo is so expensive, I think it's because the brass is essentially one of a kind and is not a high production commodity. The case is not shared by any other factory cartridge, except the even rarer .338 Lapua Mag. and .450 Rigby.

A belted version of the big Rigby case is used for the .378, .416 and .460 Weatherby rounds and the .500 A-Square, but those are not high production calibers either.

Compare this with the legion of cartridges based on the .375 H&H Magnum and you will see that the latter is a very high production piece of brass.

And, of course, high production numbers permit lower prices.

Here is my .416 Rigby:

It's one of my absolute favorites.
