I have Burris 1.75X-5X-32mm Safari's on both of my Rigby’s, a .416 & .450.  Personally I feel that with this cartridge it deserves the best scope you can afford and one that is backed by the best warrantee you can get.  Both Leupold and Burris offer the same lifetime warrantee it’s just that with Burris you save a few dollars.  Lawdog

I have a Leupold VXII 1X4X20 on my 416 Rigby. Works great.  :D

I second the Leupold 1 X 4 X 20mm or maybe a 1.5 X 6, or 2 X 7.  That gun is built for dangerous game......I'm thinking Leupold all the way!

I have a Leupold VXII 1X4X20 on my .375 H&H. Works great.  :grin:
If I decide that I need (want) a Rigby, or something bigger, it will get that scope, and I'll move up to a Leupold 1.5 X 6, or 2 X 7 on the .375. :D
