Nice article
I am chatting with Rigby now about 416 Rigby.
I will have to see how we could dress the rifle up... a little engraving would be a nice personal touch in my opinion...

Excellent article with very good advice. In particular; . . . . "shot placement and bullet construction are far more important than calibre."

Yes shot placement is all important but a 416 Rigby would be such a great gun to own.

I think we have a consensus! Bullet composition and shot placement are the things PH's worry about. Good to know. CAustin- you might still need that .416 because the article didn't mention country-specific minimum calibers. If I were a judge, my gavel would be striking and the words "case closed" would echo in my courtroom. But I'm not, so feel free to continue arguing.
