Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Custom Rifles & Wildcats Model 70 416 Taylor

Pretty much standard stuff, other than ebony plugged crossbolts, I'm pleased at how the ebony inletting into the foreend came out, sort of trying to match the visual of a rear flush mount and barrel band sling mount making for a missing front flush mount, if that makes sense.

Very nice looking rifle!
Am I correct that the 416 Taylor is basically a necked up 338 Win Mag or sized down 458?

Not sure, not my metal, someone elses, but I think necked down 458

Either or . . .

I prefer 458 Winny to form my 375 T, but the reality is I use 338 Winny as it's more readily available and cheaper. Lots of range pick-up 338 cases here in AK.

You got anymore pics? Looks like a fine rifle.

Mighty fine work there, my friend.. (bowing low here.. )
