That Rigby was an "Elephant Gun" with tremendous pressures that required a large free bore. That is what effects the accuracy and as Holli stated, at less than 100 yards at a Cape Buff, Hippo, or an Elephant you have the accuracy needed and the the power required to save your butt. Weatherby has the same accuracy in their large bore weapons and again due to free bore due to the pressures.

Hollis, my pleasure. At you guys service when I can help.
