The Rigby Big Game .416: A Modern Classic Built for the World's Toughest Hunts
Few names in the hunting world carry the history and prestige of John Rigby & Co. For more than two centuries, Rigby rifles have accompanied professional hunters and sportsmen on adventures across Africa, earning a reputation for absolute reliability when the stakes are highest.
The Rigby Big Game chambered in .416 Rigby continues that tradition. Built around the legendary Mauser 98 action, this rifle combines timeless British craftsmanship with modern precision. Every detail—from the beautifully figured walnut stock to the express sights and smooth controlled-round feed—is designed with dangerous game hunting in mind.
The .416 Rigby cartridge has long been regarded as one of the finest all-around dangerous game calibers ever developed. Offering exceptional penetration, dependable stopping power, and surprisingly manageable recoil for its performance, it remains a favorite among professional hunters pursuing buffalo, elephant, and other heavy game throughout Africa.
But the Rigby Big Game is more than a dangerous game rifle. It’s a firearm that represents heritage, craftsmanship, and the enduring pursuit of excellence. It is built to be carried in the field, trusted when every shot matters, and ultimately passed down to the next generation.
At Rivers & Glen Trading Co., we believe the finest rifles tell a story. The Rigby Big Game .416 is one of those rare rifles that connects today’s hunter with generations of adventure while delivering uncompromising performance in the modern field.
