Paul KI could go for that myself. I think they could have a problem with the forearm splitting.

Fritz KrautPerhaps it�s mostly a matter of style or of taste. British big game rifles vever come with full length fore end nor did american ones. But Mauser and other germans made some in 10,75x68, so it�s quite possible.
The Swedish Gunmakers Guild some years ago built a .458 M98 with full lenght fore end. It was a rather beautiful piece of work, but there was some critics for the smiths being "unclassical".

<eldeguello>Mainly because they try to keep the barrels on the short side, and these rob the magnums of the length they need to use up their powder charges.
