Hello to all I am a new member in the group.
my first time to Africa was last year, and it was amazing. I am currently looking for a 416 Rigby. I live in Indiana. I am booking another hunt for 2024 and looking to bag a buff. I was introduced to the 416 in Africa it was a cz 550. I would love to purchase one of these rifles, does anyone have any leads?

Welcome aboard Gluff. You already know how much fun hunting Africa can be. I'm sure that the thought of having a Buff. on tap for your next trip brings smiles rather than frowns. Re: a 416 Rigby, keep your eyes on the Classified Section. They appear quite often. There is another similar caliber that will float your boat as well. That being the 404 Jeffery. I never heard of it till I joined AH. Now I own two, as well as one in 416 Rigby.

Thank you so much. My first trip was to SA…Limpopo area absolutely fell in love with it. Once you go you must go back. Killed kudu, zebra, warthog, 10 different animals in all…. what a hunt. That is all my wife has heard about for the last year. I literally can not wait for my next hunt.

That is very interesting, I am going have to check out some of the ballistics on the 404. Definitely new to Africa hunting. How is cartridge availability in the states? 416 Rigby seems to be a little hard to come by. Online seems to be the best place.

Gluff, as far as ammo availability is concerned, online is about the only way you can go. Out West and or in Alaska there may be a few shops that have 375 H&H on hand. Big bore ammo is expensive, for that reason I reload.

That is another thing i’ve started to look into, how many shots can you get out of one piece of brass?
