I'll add the .375 H&H to your list, Richard. I've hunted everything from pronghorn to elk with one with complete satisfaction. I currently have a M70 and a #1 so chambered and, if stuck with one rifle, it would be one of those two. Probably the #1.

The .416 Rigby represents a glaring hole in my battery. I kind of skipped over it and went up to the .458 Winchester, again in a #1. The beauty of my #1 so chambered is that it has a very deep throat, so I can seat bullets out to almost .458 Lott lengths. I'm not after more velocity in doing so, just lower pressures. It still pushes either 500 grain Hornady (solid or soft) to 2,200 fps with ease. But, still, I do "need" a proper .416 - this one will have to be a bolt gun, just because Mr. Selby had one...
