416 Rigby #2

[Jamie D Van Roekel]

Shame shame shame on you guys. I have always been “why would a normal person ever need or Want a double rifle. You could go on a trip to Africa for what they cost.” Now here I am spending my free time looking at double rifles on YouTube and on here. Shameful!

So to the point. Is there a double out there in 416 Rigby#2, and can brass be found? I know that there are other calibers that make more sense. But I love the caliber and have dies. So might as well go to the deep end. Thanks you vixens.

The 500/416 is essentially the same thing and far more common. And unless you particularly want a vintage Rigby or to have Marc have one built for you (get a rising bite if you go that route!), there are several rifle choices in that caliber.

Rigby's will make you a Rising Bite in 416#2, but you are talking many African safaris worth. I am sure Heym will do you an 88b or an 89b.
