Any opinions on how this would compare to the Ruger M77 SRM 416 Rigby? Thinking about the cartridge ballistics and performance as well as the rifles themselves.

Ballistically the 416 Rem Mag and 416 Rigby are the same. Factory 416 Rem ammo is cheaper than 416 Rigby ammo. Both are excellent DG rifles. The Ruger RSM (no longer made) is the nicer rifle with that beautiful one piece quarter rib but a nice used one will cost 3x more than the current Winchester M70 Safari Express. The Ruger RSM has integral bases machined into the receiver so one just needs rings whereas the Winchester requires both bases and rings.

This is about as good a price as you're going to find on a .505

how much was itSo it is. Only went up this morning. Looks like it was indeed a good deal.
I’m a huge fan of Dakota and the travelers in particular, but those calibers present a problem…
Yup…a big one….

The brass/ammo pops up a few times a year. I probably have some in my basement if you're looking to buy that. Although I'm not sure if it falls under a good deal. There was a similar one listed for 12K recently. Maybe they looking to flip it like they did some of Buckstix's rifles from auction?

I agree.
And so, if this same rifle was available with one barrel in .300 H&H and the other barrel in .404 Jeffery, or perhaps 7MM Remington Magnum and .458 Lott, likely it would sell much, much faster.
Not the same rifle. The one Mark at First Stop was selling had a grey receiver.
The other cartridge combinations mentioned above won’t work together in a Traveler, but if they would…..

Hi Bushog,
I expect that you are correct about the 300 H&H and .404 Jeffery, as the base of those two cartridges are slightly different widths.
Cheers,
