Good morning.
I came across a set of redding dies and 200 rounds of new brass that followed me home.

So I am checking to see if anyone has a 416 Ruger they might be willing to part with?

Have a couple rifles I might trade or cash for the rifle.

This will save me from having to build one.
 
@AZDAVE the 416 Ruger is indeed hard to come by. Just looked on GB and several 375 Rugers for around $1k are listed. Can a 375 Ruger be easily rebarreled to 416? Seems like the bolt face and magazine are all the same. Just a thought.
 
@375 Ruger Fan That is an option I considered, but have a zastava action that started life as a 458, a 1909 Argentine, and P14 action to do a build from on the shelf. So just checking to see if anyone has a safe queen they don't want anymore.
 
Buy the reloading equipment and brass first. Then start looking for the rifle to go with them.

I like it! Sounds like something I would do :ROFLMAO:

Hope you find one.
 
Here are some pictures . . .

What is the LOP on the AHR
 
I found a stock and action I liked and then took it to my gunsmith to rebarrel. Kind of the same thing!! ( Mauser action and killer piece of black walnut). Should be ready this summer. For a 416 ruger .
 
That's a right proper looking stock on the AHR. What's the barrel length?

I've been mulling over a .416 Ruger build and keeping an eye out for a donor action. Thinking MV of 2,100 - 2,200 fps from a 21" barrel, depending on overall balance, and 4 down + 1.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
