CTF, Another stock option that you might consider is the Bell & Carlson for the Rugers. This has the full length bedding block and is for the “magnum” barrel contour, such as the 338 Winchester. I have had no issue with them fitting 375 & 416 Ruger. Your 458 barrel looks a bit bigger. I compared weight of a B&C Ruger, to a Ruger McMillian McSwirly with mag-fill in the action area. The B&C was surprisingly a few tenths of an ounce lighter.

CTF,
Just be careful with the Boyd's laminate stock mate. A guy on one of the forums down here in Oz had one fitted to his .458 and a few of us were asking him how it went because we were thinking of fitting one to our .458's.. He told us that not too long after fitting, the recoil caused it to split down the centre. He warned us against fitting one to a .458 and he then fitted a McMillan to his rifle.
