What scope for 416 Rigby..?
Glad to have found the greatest forum for African hunting! I have a new 416 Rigby for my first trip to Africa. What scope do you recommend for this rifle? I am leaning towards the Swaro Z6 in 1 - 6X. Thanks for your thoughts; I appreciate your opinions.

Sounds like an excelent choice........For what it's worth I have a S&B Zenith on my 416 Rigby........

Go all the way and fall over on it. Since looking through one last April I'm lusting after one myself.

For a 416Rigby I would use a NICKEL MAGNUM 1,5-6X30 with its 125mm eye relief.
