For those that might inquire - .416 Rigby ammo goes for over $200/box of 20...

I bet it feeds slick as snot.
I had a T/C Custom Shop Encore 416 Rigby barrel briefly. Really nice bluing and open sights. Anyone who says the recoil of the Rigby is more like a shove has never touched off a full power load in a 7 1/2 lb gun.

Why would someone pay all that money for a rifle like that one and the former, and not keep the box around?

I asked them some time ago why there was no boxes with these rifles
and the only answer I got back was 'they obtained the rifles from Winchester just before the plant closed'.. However, that never really answered my question.. I found it hard to believe that Winnie would never have boxed up these things.. Nothin' made sense..

Wood looks like a Remington BDL.

That's why many DG rifles weigh over 9#...

Ya want recoil? Try the single barrel Baikal 3.5" chambered 12 ga with full-house turkey loads... Makes the Rigby seem like a .243... Hehehehee

That is one fine looking piece.

So how do you get a Rigby to work in an M70? I thought it was too big to fit. Custom action size?

I'm sure the custom shop modified the feed rails (and probably a magazine & follower) to allow the Rigby to fit and feed.. But if that rifle was close by I'd love to see it in person and inspect it myself..
