vapodogStrictly a guess...it was a rebarreled .375 H&H.

WhitworthShowbart has a .416 Interarms that appears to be a factory job. I also have a Whitworth in .416, but alas, mine is a converted .375.......

ramrod340I'm sure no expert but I thought the only long (3.6") magnum that Interaqrms imported was the 375.
Showbart called it a rebarrel.
As usual just my $.02

Yes, he was the one who listed it. It did take a day or so to sell.

MacD37It was probably a whitworth African express, that had it's 375 H&H barrel re-bored, to 416, and re-chambered to the 416 Rem Mag.
In my opinion, all it did was ruin a good 375H&H!

WhitworthMac, Mac, Mac, now, now, nothing wrong with converting a Whitworth/Interarms Mark X to .416 Rem!
As everyone on this forum knows, you can have way more fun with a .416 than a .375! I have just such a converted Whitworth and it's my favorite rifle, hands down!

I've got nothing against the 416 Rem Mag cartridge, it is just that I hate to see a whitworth Safari Express rifle changed from it's origenal chambering, since they aren't available any longer! In future years, folks will be looking hard to find them in origenal unaltered condition. They aren't collector items now, but they will be!
I have two Whitworth Safari 375H&H rifles, and they are my favorite bolt rifles, as well!

ElCaballero is one on Gunbroker. Has a Douglas barrel and an ugly stock. Would be good for the great white north!

Waffle pad and camo plastic stock -- a classic!
Nice to see it includes "rifle sights."

McCrayI like the maryjane camo pattern. Just the thing to shue the bears out of the pot patch.

Plastic stock .416...
High bid was $650. That is what I paid for my early Whitworth in original configuration. Just goes to show

I never seem to find those great $600 Whitworths...
And you do not have one in .416 (with goofy camo no less!).

ElCaballeroJudgeG turned me onto mine a couple of years ago.
Of course I had to add a 3 pos. safety and replaced the stock using the original for a pattern. I'll post some pics when Bill Soverns gets done scratching on it.

I am sure it will look nice (actually I imagine
very nice) when it is done.
If I add up what I've spent and will spend on my Whitworth .458 and my Interarms .375, the little more I spent to get them is not relevant.
I went over to the dark side and supposedly have a Model 70 on the way for my .416.
Yes, this Interarms would have been cheaper, but after you change the safety, stock, recoil pad, barrel band, etc. and fix any other little issues, maybe not.

How funny! The 416 I am having built is also on a Win. It will be my first 70.

I have a pre-64 Featherweight in .243 and a Model 54 in 9.3x62 -- both very slick. This one is a Model 70 Classic action and we shall see how I like it. The stock is not as nice or trim as my .458 but we will see how it feels.

ElCaballeroMine is a 70 classic. It was a 300 wm. I stripped it to the reciever. Shilen barrel and Sunny Hill drop box mag. For a stock I found a British express rifle stock for the model 70 with the drop box in GAG's bargain bin. I am using it for a pattern.

Post pictures as it comes together. Mine is a CRF Super Express, nothing special.

N. GarrettI had an original Whitworth in 300 Weatherby Mag.
It's now a 500 Jeffery.
I found it as a fluke, but there it was in full factory glory (i.e. not a rebarrel).
I wish I could find an official list of all the calibers the Whitworth series were chambered in.
