Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Cape buffalo! Which 416 would you build?

My PH was more than pleased that I was using a 416 rather than a 375... I put my 416 Rem M70 together a few years before the hunt. I swapped to an unbedded McM stock, Wisner front and rear sights, Williams extractor and Talley QD's. I used a VXIII 1.5-5X on the hunt. I now have a Burris 1.75-5x32 Signature Safari Posi-Lock that will go on it. My PH thought it was an excellent combo that "just felt right". He was using a custom 416 Rigby built on a Brevex action. It was beautiful and a tank. I used a handloaded 350 gr TSX. The one shown without petals was a finisher at 10 yards, the other from the first shot at 125 yards. He loaded the 400 gr TSX. The rifle weighs a hair under 9# as shown. Planning to head back when things clear up.
