Im in the process of regulating the sights now.

Are you going to mount a scope on the .416 Rigby?


Yes. I took the scope off got my 400 grain A Frames absolutely perfect at 50 yards. Had to take .075” off the sight. Next is getting the first flip up on at 125 yard and the second at 200.

The scope is a Leupold 2.5 compact it has about 5” of eye relief. Amen. It’s 1” high at 50 yards.

I have settled on the 400 Aframe and the 400 hornady solids land about 1/2 higher that the Aframes and perfectly in line.

I have 2 1/2 boxes of 350 Aframes and a box of Barnes 350 tsx
And a bunch of old Barnes X bullets I’m going to have to trade off for 400 grain Aframes.


Good choice on the scope DD!

Just a suggestion, why don't you get the second flip up sight on at 200 yards and not worry about the other two.



I enjoy the hell out of shooting the rifle, so getting the two flip dialed ups is a good time. Kinda figure the more rounds I fire from it the better I will be come game time.

True, the more time spent shooting it the better you will be when the moment of truth arrives. I just think a 200 yard zero with the iron sights will cover any shooting you will do with the .416.
