Re-Bareling/Cartridge?

[fatback]

Is there a cartridge/rifle that could be re-barreled to 416 Remington?

Parent case is the 8mm Remington Magnum.

I believe any rifle chambered for:

• 300 Winchester Magnum
• 7mm Remington Magnum
• 257 Weatherby Magnum
• 264 Winchester Magnum
• 6.5 Remington Magnum
• 270 Weatherby Magnum
• 7mm Shooting Times Westerner
• 7mm Weatherby Magnum
• 300 RCM
• 30-338 Winchester Magnum
• 300 Holland & Holland Magnum
• 300 Weatherby Magnum
• 308 Norma Magnum
• 8mm Remington Magnum
• 338 RCM
• 338 Winchester Magnum
• 340 Weatherby Magnum
• 350 Remington Magnum
• 9.3mm x 74 Rimmed
• 375 Holland & Holland Magnum
• 458 Winchester Magnum
• 458 Lott

Could be re-barreled for .416 Remington without requiring work on the bolt face.

I "think?" that they would all have an action long enough to accommodate a .416.

What do you intend to hunt with the .416?

If African dangerous game is in the plan, I would steer towards bolt actions with controlled round feed.

Ruger M77
Etc.

It will be an African DG rifle. I am only looking for/ considering CRF rifles. Would prefer a Winchester M70 since that is what my 375 H&H is. I am also considering getting it re-barreled into 404 Jeffery or 416 Remington as mentioned earlier. I will only do it with a left handed rifle. Haven’t been able to find a donor rifle yet but I’m gonna keep looking.

There a .338 on GB now, but they are very proud of it!
