For my money I would take the .416 Rigby because of the ballistics. The .416 has the trajectory of the .375 and hits like the .458.

I think the .416 is the upper limit of recoil that can be used with a "higher" magnification scope.

If 500grains is reading this he is prolly hoppin wanting to reply to this .......

So many people don,t load the Lott right for most hunting and therefore there is a great lack of knowledge about it,s capabilities with the 350 gr bullet ..........All I can say is it is an amazing killer .....And it isn,t any different in the recoil than a 416 Rigby ,Remington or Ruger .Tho it does have the potential to recoil less than the Rigby .... And it shoots nearly as flat ....

Or to put it another way , it shoots almost as flat as a 375, kicks like a 416 and kills like a 470 ,,,,, There now were gettin somewhere ....
