its a .416 ruger thats why i called it johnny come lately. would never call the one and only true .416 ie the RIGBY that

 

[CAustin]

Yep my 416 is a M77 guide gun in 416 Ruger. The model one was made in a 416 Rigby at one point. A friend here on AH just bought one of those from another member!

I remember when it (M77) was available in Rigby and a friend had one and I think his son has it now. M77 is a pretty rifle but I'm partial to M70 and I think they do have it in Remington's 416 which I have no interest in.
