Was surfin' about with the idea of building a rifle in .416 Taylor when I happened upon the Ruger home page and found that they apparently once produced some rifles in that flavor:

Anybody ever seen one? or was this one of those things that they announced and never produced?

Bob Chatfield-Taylor tried to get Winchester to produce the .416 Taylor. They chambered a couple of them for R&D. Ruger did the same. It never panned out with the bean counters. Ken Waters wrote something about this in his _Pet Loads_ compilation. I think he got one of the Ruger M77 rifles for load development testing, about 1973, IIRC.

They list it under the single shots and the deluxe bolt gun sections above the vanilla M-77 section.
