I did get a chance to shoot the .416 Rigby at SHOT a few years ago. It was stout but not as bad as I probably anticipated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I Shot 8 Big Bore Rifles (9.3x62mm to 500 NE) | The Power Is Real!\" width=\"940\" height=\"529\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pVCJlsr_HSY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t know that I&#8217;d want to shoot any of these off a bench but standing and using sticks is another story.
