Rigby uses Recknagel scope mounts on their Big Game. The front is a dovetail that pivots into place, and the rear is a claw that tightens by rotating a ring at the bottom. Mine have met my expectations and return to zero within 1/2 moa based on my experience. I think another user here had...

I can vouch for the 1-6 EE as well. Excellent scope for a heavy recoiling rifle, and I'm still able to print 1 moa groups with it off sticks at 200 yds if I do my part.

Rigby gets their shell holders and belts from Els & Co. Top quality for sure!

I would guess that more elk have fallen to a .30-06 than any other caliber, due to its sheer prevalence if nothing else, but the .270 probably isn't too far behind it in that statistic. To clarify my statement, I wouldn't recommend Sako Hammerhead bullets on heavier game based on this...

Rigby Big Game in .416 Rigby. In the early stages of planning a 2019 trip to Zambia for cape buffalo.

Update, I loaded up a few Woodleigh Hydro solids. The end result was this group, using the exact same powder charge as my softs. 3 shots at 100 yards off the bench. I couldn't be happier. It would suffice to say that I'm done with load development, which was a faster process than I've...

I understand, and best wishes in your country's election! And good hunting!

@Wheels hit the nail on the head. @Foxi With all the immigration issues in your country, feel free to immigrate yourself to ours (USA). Not that we don't have our own issues, but you would be welcome here.

Well said. This pretty much hits the nail on the head.

That is pretty much exactly what I thought when I first saw the bullet. He had asked me about Core-Lokts, and I (incorrectly) assumed that these would be superior based on the fact that they're bonded and the literature published by Sako. Literally the first thing I said to him about the...

This was fired from my friend's .270 when he killed a black bear last week. It definitely was effective as the animal only took 1 step and then 'fell over like a tree' as he put it. Before the hunt he had asked me for suggestions for ammunition. I recommended something loaded with heavy...

I've got a few packages of 400g Hydro's sitting on the reloading table just for that purpose. I think the 410g Weldcores and 400g Hydro's should have me covered for anything I'll be hunting with this rifle. I still have a few rounds loaded with H4350 that I haven't had an opportunity to try...

Thanks for the many complements. The caliber is .416 Rigby. I tried 3 different powders the first day out. IMR7828, RL25, and H4831SC. It liked them all pretty well, but the H4831SC seemed to group just a little bit better than the others. @Buckdog thanks for the advice about the lead...
