Kevin, we, or at least I call that an H barrel, being a 1H. I have never seen a #1 in .416 Rigby with any other barrel. I owned one up until 5-6 years ago. Good price too. I bought mine in about 2013 or 14 and paid $1000 in as new condition.Beautiful. Is that a C barrel?
Yes I do have the factory rings for it that will go with the rifle, thanks for checking I should have mentioned that!Does it come with rings?...............................FWB
I bought Sierra One's 416 Rigby a while back, imported it into Australia, then was convinced someone else needed it more than I; BUGGA !! As already posted, 416 Rigby No 1s were ALL "D" weight/profile barrels. I've since "obtained" an RSM Rigby barrel, with integral rib and bottom rib; what will happen to it I'm not sure yet....Kevin, we, or at least I call that an H barrel, being a 1H.

It was well over three months, Amigo; I never actually had it in my hands, the Aussie dealer/importer was made an offer which I couldn't refuse. Never lost financially on the deal, in fact the return on investment was quite good, just no actual enjoyment of having it in my hands. Meanwhile, other temptations have arisen, and been fulfilled.Geoff, How long did it finally take before you actually received it?
Once in great while you see one. I picked up one.Geoff, quite a find to snag an RSM 416 barrel!
Now, to find an action with which to mate it; REALLY want to know what caliber the rifle finally became ... Must follow that up ...Once in great while you see one. I picked up one.

Snowball, have you shot this rifle? Wondering if it achieves minute-of-ground-squirrel. Any squirrels hit with it would be well ground, no doubt. Whereabouts in the mid-west are you located? Looks very green this time of year? Wish we would get a little of that rain. I'm in California. Many people in other states will not ship to us folks here. No blame for that, just a fact of life. Any concerns about that? I'm contemplating.
