Rigby Made an Appearance at Me House....

Damn it PR, Tanner and Clay are trouble with a capital T!! The wife is stoked to shoot it, she loves rubbing her girlfriends noses in that at a 115LB's she can freehand a .375 H&H onto paper at 40 yards .....


The .416 Rigby might have a handful more snot but we shall see tomorrow......

Lightweights tend to shoot heavy rifles well. They roll with the recoil rather than soaking it up the way big lugs like me do. It's all about inertia.

Very fine rifle and (non-wimp) round.

Hornady DGX factory load is a 400gr bullet at 2415 fps MV.

I am afraid to look at what the ammo costs. Nice rifle.

Life begins at 40, recoil also begins at 40.

Factory ammo would be North of $8/shot.

Now, that is a Boom Stick...
Thanks for sharing so far...
Is there a tag to be cut with this gun this fall?

As with most any 40+ caliber it's generally a handloading proposition. A fair selection of 416 caliber bullets are available.

You maybe onto something! She shot it twice and the 375 H&H three times .... We only shot it off sticks and freehand for now. Sights seemed to be spot on.

I dunno about this fall, want to become very proficient with the 375 and really comfortable with the 416..... Atlin is calling my name though!

Stepped up for a bunch of bench jewelry yesterday! Not the easiest to find but it's out there....
