When you add the fact that I can either exceed 416 Rem velocities if I wish, or match them at much lower pressure, and that the brass is excellent and lasts forever, the Rigby seems a solid choice to me.

The rifle turned out so good that I sold my 416 Rem, as I had no intention of ever picking the Rem over this rifle.
