Matt, If that is the.416 Rigby that was written up in The American Rifleman, I shot the rifle 100 rounds before they shipped it to Finn. Greg Warne knew, or at least suspected, that Finn was a real gun writer and would actually shoot the gun, instead of look at it and make up stuff to write about. Anyway, my shooting test was to see if it would actually hold together. By the end of 100 rounds, the front sight had slipped forward and off the barrel and the silly rib (held by one 6-48 screw, for pity's sake) popped off at about round number ten.

The floorplate latch also failed about thirty rounds out and I had to duct tape the floorplate closed to complete the firing. Soooo, I took the POS back and mentioned the problems (in my silver-tongued way ). Apparently, they wanted the rib to stick real good, so they added a second serew (still 6-48) and drilled and tapped the back one clear through and into the freakin' chamber And I believe the band-type front sight also fell off in Finn's test shooting; guess they didn't fix that little problem the first time.

After suffering through one hundred rounds of.416 Rigby in a single sitting, I swore off shooting big rifles for fun. My shoulder wasn't right for at least two weeks and I had to go back to shooting.22s and.223s at the range for a while, to get rid of the flinchies. Having been there all during the Kimber BGRs evolution, I would suggest that anyone interested in buying one should take a cold shower.
