MingbogoRuger Magnum 458 Lott barrel profile
Does anyone know the barrel profile of the new 458 Lott chambering? What is the muzzle diameter? Please do a quick measurement if you have one. I wonder if it is the same profile as the existing 416 Rigby. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

SteveMing,
I was just going to clean mine and saw your message.
Here are the numbers I measured:
Muzzle: .750"
Site Barrel Band: .875"
At Stock Fore-end: .860"
Let me know if you have any questions.

MingbogoThanks Steve for the info. Apparently, they use the same barrel profile for the 458 Lott as the 416 Rigby. I was hoping they would use a larger barrel profile for the new chambering so we can turn it into something bigger with the same factory barrel.

Dr. LouI don't know the exact dimensions, but it looks like a water pipe.
