My comment about ammo is certainly significant to the fellows that live over there. All rifles and ammo are expensive for the locals.

For the traveling hunter the cost of ammo is insignificant compared to all of the other costs.

The comment about seeing more .416 Rem Mags than Rigby was my personal observation of the rifles that the local guys use. I don't recall seeing a PH that used the Rigby but I do know several PHs that use the Remington version and one that uses the Ruger. They are all fine cartridges, but the recoil from a .416 or larger wears me out quickly.
