    Saw an 85 Safari 410 Rigby today

    I now know what 'very very nice' actually looks like. Bill down at HF Botany has one in store if anyone wants to go GAWK at this bohemoth slayer. I reckon that thing would turn a pig into double ended uggboot. Ah damn i gots the wants again.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Is it definitely 416 Rigby not 416 Remington? Surprised the Rigby case diameter would fit the action and the case head the bolt face?

    Yes it is Bills rifle.

    Be surprised 400 grain bullets don’t make a mess of smaller animals.
