If I were wishing a classic African flavor rifle, only hunting occasionally with it, and was dropping $$$Heavy Coin, the 416 Rigby would definitely get the nod.

If I am going to hunt extensively with the rifle and carry that bad boy for hours/hours then I would personally choose a 416 Rem because of the lighter action, lighter weight and similar ballistics to the 416 Rigby.I like the African Dakota 416 Rem alot.

Personally I would get a Dakota 416 Rem, not a classic but a good working heavy for a bolt rifle.I always try use my heavies as much as possible and I could enjoy it and still hunt that rifle hard.
