I'm still wondering about the "Imperial Magnums" 7mm,.30cal,.311,.338, .360 , Based on a 404 case IIRC.
Maybe the Canadian members have some info.

I'm betting you're right, but don't have any info other than what's in CARTRIDGES OF THE WORLD.

The 358 Norma came in both a Schultz and Larsen and the Husqvarna 1651. I've heard rumors of a Sako L61 action in 358.

Big Redhead,
I haven't owned an Evans, but have two friends who own Evans SxS shotguns (one a 16) and another who owned an Evans .470 double for a while. Many people consider them as good as the "name" British guns, and they can still often be had for less than a Purdey, H&H, etc., but the price has beeen going up for a whiole.

I am only guessing at this. The Ruger #1 was made for a time in .357 and it was popular to rechamber to .357 maximum. I think Ruger then did put out some in that chambering. Anybody?

Many people consider them as good as the "name" British guns, and they can still often be had for less than a Purdey, H&H, etc., but the price has beeen going up for a whiole. Every time I see a fine English double-gun I am flabbergasted by the beauty of workmanship and fluid lines. They are truly works of art and surely the standard by which all others are measured. Then I see the modern doubleguns currently made and I ask myself, "Why?" Invariably the current makers depart from the elegant lines of the old English makers and throw-in some grotesque-looking feature that ruins the overall apperaance. I don't get it. I would give my right nut to own some of those beautiful, old English guns.

tex n cal,
I'd have to disqualify the .17 Fireball, because the 700 and 7 are indeed different rifles.
Does anybody know if anybody besides Bushmaster chambers the .450 Bushmaster, and anybody besides Alexander Arms chambers he .50 Beowulf?
I have gone through COTW some, but not every edition I own!
Remington offers the R15 in .450 Bushmaster now, although I would bet they are made under the same roof. I think the Beowulf makes your list though.

Similarly, I don't think I have ever seen the 416 Taylor listed by anyone else but CZ.

William Evans worked at Purdeys before he went out on his own.
He marked some (or all) of his guns, "....from Purdeys" which I have read irratated James Purdey, although he did the same thing when he went out on his own. I don't remember who he trained under.

ONLY THE LONELY
.338 RCM
.416 Ruger
Mule Deer, Both the above are in the No1 ... the 338RCM in the medium sporter with 22" barrel, whilst the 416Ruger is listed in the Tropical. ER Shaw's heritage rifles are available in a few very odd chamberings ... 416Taylor, 358Norma, 224TTH, 458x2", 338/06, 240Wby ... best to have a look see for yourself. http://www.ershawbarrels.com/er_shaw_new_heritage.pdfCheers...

The Weatherby cartridges ... 378Wby may have been initially in a Shultz and Larsen Model 54 action for 2 years before the MkV was developed. I also have a snaeking suspicion the 460Weatherby may also have appeared in Brevex magnum actions or a Sako-FN prior to the MkV.
Which leaves the more recent 416Wby as a MkV orphan ... and I think the 224Wby is also an orphan from the Varmintmaster.
Anyone know about the 7x33mm from Sako?
Cheers...

How about you put a twist on the question and list the rifles that were only commercially chambered in one caliber. I know that most rifles have been re-chambered for another caliber of have been Ackley Improved after they left the factory, but I am talking just one factory caliber offered. Also let's discount the custom factory order and stick to catalog offerings. Now we can consider the Model 71 in 348 Winchester.
