Which .416 Rigby?

If it was my money it would be the one on the right in the first picture.

Arm dealers in Sweden can't show rifles like that!
They (almost) just got Tikka, Sako and Blaser when they want to show new guns..
You are lucky to have a dealer like that.

JG Jakt get somewhat close to this though. I visited their booth at Elmia and they had a couple old Rigby's and Mauser's but the coolest thing was a Westley Richards 8 gauge side by side that I think they wanted 300 k sek for iirc. They were also really nice and let me look at them all despite it being perfectly clear that I wasn't going to buy anything. Of course 99% of dealers are exactly like what you describe unfortunately.

Here's a different thought...all are beautiful of course but can we get a matte finish instead of high gloss? I love the red tint in older English finishes and wish the finishes had less shine than a spotlight.

Now, now, don’t go getting all practical on us! Lol

What grade is the wood on those? I assume they are higher than standard grade 5 from the pricing.

Left is a Grade 6, Right is Grade 9. The 3 in the middle are Grade 7 250th Anniversary Editions.

In my opinion, a great 416 Rigby is one of the classiest rifles around. I love mine and hunt with it often. There is nothing it can't do...from tiny 10 to DG is covered.

If I can offord it, it will be the one in the middle. But can dream about it.

No bad choices really, I’d buy the least expensive one and spend remainder on trophy fees

Shocking most are leaning toward Grade 9 .
