[QUOTE="Shumba1, post: 3084848, member: 113854"] Have hunted Africa with a 416 Rigby (shooting 400 grain Barnes X @ 2,400 fps) and it is an awesome round. Just thumps big animals, although I shot a cape buffalo in the chest at 30 yards and he looked at me with a "that's all you got" expression :oops: I would absolutely say that is a great choice for Africa, but in a bolt rifle, never a double rifle. I know a few gun makers have chambered doubles in 416 Rigby, but a double rifle is really meant to shoot a rimmed cartridge (470 Nitro Express, etc.). I hope you get to realize your dream hunt, but you may want to think through the rifle action/caliber combo! [/QUOTE]
