I ended up with a Remington factory takeoff barrel in 416 Rem Mag (thanks Dober!). It's got to be from the custom shop as I think that is the only way they offer that chambering. Any how, found a donor action and sent barrel and action off to High Tech Customs www.htcustoms.com for the install. Prompt service and sights perfectly indexed. I had to open up the barrel channel a little on an HS stock I had but it is bedded and floated and trigger adjusted. I haven't had the chance to shoot any full house loads yet but I have shot a 416 Rigby that was lighter than this so I know what to expect. Stiff but manageable. Probably going to fix it up with QR bases and rings and a 2-7x scope. What am I going to shoot with it? Any bloody thing I want! I figure it will work just fine on deer and hogs for now and if I ever get to go to Africa I won't feel undergunned no matter what is on the menu.
