Greetings from Rome, Italy

Phil, unless you are after elephant, I'm a believer in the smaller of the BIG Bores. I own a 416 Rigby in a Ruger No. 1, two 404 Jeffery(s), a 416 Remington Mag and three 375 H&H(s). PH(s) should be the ones to carry the "Stoppers." But that is just my opinion.

You're right and I'm exactly on the same line.
My "big bore" is indeed a medium bore by the old british stardard, being a 416 Remington, one of the very few chambered in a Rigby, built in 1997 in England, accordingly with the Rigby ledgers and proof marks on it. It was in fact one of the very last before Rigby moved to US. I like very much the caliber, and the fact that I can shot it very well even from the bench. I would say I will need nothing more, nor I believe I would be able to shot a bigger bore as accurately as I shot my Rigby. By now I used (on targets) the good old Remington/Swift A Frame, but I'm going to reload it. So soon I will ask you some advice...
 
boungiorno, e benvenuto. Italy is a beautiful country, I live in Sicily for 2 1/2 years.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike
