Thank you for doing a show on the .416, I had a very dear close friend and Hunting companion who is no longer here with my, he pass away July of this year. While working as a fireman in Sacramento on his days off, he worked for a Gunsmith and custom gun maker. He built a custom 416 Remington mag with a Whitworth action. Probably not the quality of the firearms you have but a very nice firearm. I have his rifle. He wanted me to have it. It means a lot to me and has a very special place in my heart. We used it to shoot rock chucks and elk. He carried it while elk hunting in grizzly country. I have many memories of him in this rifle.

416 Rigby in a Magnum Mauser Action.

Man you should really do an hour long video on that 416 model 71.

Ruger #1 Tropical in 416 Rigby, boy would I love one of those.

Hey Tim, if you haven't covered the 458 win mag and the Lott, love for you to do a deep dive

Hopefully the .405 Winchester, .416 Weatherby and others are in Part 2

Some very classy rifles there.

When I bought a CZ 550M 416 Rigby, it was sort of a lark. I really thought it would be a rare rifle in a hot minute. It led me to a love of the big mediums. A 458, and a 375 have joined it, but it remains my favorite.

I love a model 71. I’m keeping mine in .348 though.

As Kentucky Ballistics says about this cartridge, "Honey Badger doesn't care" as it penetrates everything. 😂

I remember the rebirth of the 416 in the 80s and that captivated my imagination, that being said I never did own a 416 but I did have a. 404 Jeffrey. Definitely a hammer!

I'm really intrigued by that 348 that's been necked up to 416. I'm hunting for a browning 71 right now to convert to 50 Alaskan, but I didn't know there were other options.

Never get tired of all the great knowledge and information that you share, even though here in the Midwest I have no need for a cartridge this big or powerful, I always enjoy learning something new from your videos. Thanks Tim and Kim keep up the good work.

People need to send in increasingly larger and more realistic pointers until tim has a 6ft long pointer indistinguishable from a human arm to use as a pointer

@chadgronsten9023 11 months ago

Please do 35 Remington

I got addicted to this guy videos. I am not even american I just get so much info and knowledge from this guy. Makes me want to ask political asylum and become american somehow so I can get basic gun rights. I dont even want some fancy turbo gun, just a basic one to have basic normal human rights. That said, you have my respect for your ammo and your journey into success and also thanks for sharing info. I learned a ton
