I'm going for a 416 Rigby

[oscar1975]

Good morning, I'm going to start saving up for a .416 Rigby, and I'll probably look for a used Brno or Cz. It'll take a while, but I'll get it. It's all a whim; I already have a .375 Holland and a .458 Lott. I'll probably try to sell the .243 WSSM Browning. Sorry for sharing.

That would be a great trio.

You could use the WSSM for a 458JCE project

Hi everyone, My mate GeoffB recommended AH to me and I'm glad to be here. I've hunted South Africa in the Northern Transvaal in 2006 and built a 458 Lott on my return to Australia with the intention of going back. But I got divorced instead and life got in the way. I look forward to hunting Africa vicariously through this forum. Thanks for having me.

I mean, I could as well. I could sell my .243 as well. Is God trying to tell me something?

Ese sería un gran trío.

Podría usar el WSSM para un proyecto 458JCE :astuto:

En España, todo lo relacionado con las armas es tabú, prácticamente sacrílego. Cualquier reemplazo de una parte sustancial de un arma debe ser manejado por el Estado, y esto implica una gran cantidad de burocracia y una cantidad considerable de dinero.

Go for a big bore. They're showing you the way.

So the 458JCE might not take off in Spain ;-(

Maybe Townsend @Bob Nelson 35Whelen would be interested in your Browning .243WSSM? PM him. I know he doesn’t have one YET. LOL

Fine choice. I like the .416 Rigby. Haven’t used it on anything yet as I just got both of mine since last hunting season.

More punch than a .375 but more versatile than the .458 in my opinion. I won’t pet with my .375s but I don’t see myself buying another .458. Ill maybe go double rifle but not .458

416 Rigby is awesome! Keep the 243 and sell the 375... apparently it is next to useless anyway

 

[Doug3006]

Don’t be sorry for sharing your plans around here! Your desire for a 416 Rigby is entirely understandable. I am about to take my CZ 500 in 416 Rigby to a custom stock maker to restock in a pretty piece of Walnut. Then, at some point is the near future, I hope to kill a Dagga Boy with it. Dreams are what separate us from the rest of humanity. All men dream, but not equally. Copy and paste that last sentence into Google and read what T.E. Lawrence had to say.

Así que el 458JCE podría no despegar en España ;-(

It is not possible, legislation is too strict.

It would be very complicated to sell a rifle that's in Spain; there's a lot of bureaucracy, a lot of obstacles. Neither guns nor hunting are well-regarded in Spain. It's a country of sheep.

I like my 375 much more than the 243 WSSM. Another option is to take your time and save for the long term. But my gun cabinet is overflowing, and here they won't let you document a new rifle if you don't have room in your cabinet. If I didn't sell the 243 WSSM, I'd have to buy another gun cabinet.

¡No te arrepientas de compartir tus planes por aquí! Su deseo de un 416 Rigby es completamente comprensible. Estoy a punto de llevar mi CZ 500 en 416 Rigby a un fabricante de existencias personalizado para reabastecerme de un bonito trozo de nogal. Entonces, en algún momento es el futuro cercano, espero matar a un Dagga Boy con él. Los sueños son los que nos separan del resto de la humanidad. Todos los hombres sueñan, pero no por igual. Copie y pegue esa última oración en Google y lea lo que T.E. Lawrence tenía que decir.

Muchas gracias por sus amables palabras. Me animan a ahorrar dinero y ser paciente.
