NONE- but the same thing could be said if you compared it to a 30-06, it is just a little more better laugh

Yes, I have shot a 416 Rigby but not at a critter. Biggest thing I have shot at a critter is a 340 Wby or 45-70 depending on your definition of bigger.



I'VE NEVER been to Africa nor shot any of these calibers,but so far as i can tell by the research ive read online,is that the Lott reaches the "magical"23-2400 fps with 500 grain bullets and its advantage over the 458 Win is basically strictly limited to elephant head shots. According to the vast majority of research ive read,thats the opinion i perceive.


***OP:i was asking about the 416 rigby because i was wondering on the difference of recoil between it and the Lott. Like,is the 458Lotts recoil so much more than the Rigby? Does it take A LOT more time to reacquier target for follow ups with the Lott?

One would have to shoot identical or at least largely similar rifles side-by-side to really definitively state which recoils more. The math says the Lott has a good margin more recoil, thing is, the Rigby takes a magnum action which generally translates to a bigger, heavier gun; the Lott is pretty easy to carry in the Mod 70 platform. I look forward to taking it to Africa.
