short action big bore builds? - 11/29/12
read this article a long time ago, had it in the back of my head for a long time.
.416x2 Beartooth:

already have a .350Mag in a model 7KS and quite happy with it....not likely this would serve a specific need in the arsenal other than the cravings of a rifle loony.
anyone here built any .375 or larger shorties? if so, what were the details?
had also toyed with going .411x2 route on chambering/bore as i have a good stock of bullets in that size range for my .405win and a .414supermag carbine.
thinkin model 7 action, mid-weight 20" tube; Mickey stock in old school KS style; cerakoted, something that would come in at 6.5#-ish range (unglassed).
anyone here done (or contemplated) such a project?
