He used that rifle as a professional hunter for decades. The most interesting part of that article to me was the part where Harry stated that he intended fro the 416 to simply be a stop gap measure until he could acquire another 470. After using the 416 and experiencing its performance he never felt the need to get another 470
Yest but he story gets more interesting when you consider he used a model 70 push feed .458 for a stop gap when the .416 was bei8ng rebarreled and like it so much he sold the .416 and kept using the .458.
It is ok to be happy where you are but that doesn't mean you are as satisfied as you can be. When you start backtracking your preferences, that is when you are on the mark. Ultimately, as a seasoned professional, Harry could use what ever he wanted and in the end, the .458 was it.
