Just an update seams like this process is never ending.

Just got a call from my smith, he's is ready for some ammo to test fire the 416 Taylor .

After that the teflon finish, complete the stock work and presto - One 416 Taylor ready to play with .

remind us....what are the details of your rifle???

Congrats on the new Rifle. Yes...DETAILS please!!!!

Mine is built on a Left Hand Ruger 77 MKII, Bell&Carlson Carbelite stock. HArry McGowen did the barrel work, I fitted the stock. Dremel tool and Brownell's STEEL-BED, LOTS OF it. Harry silver soldered a recoil lug to bottom of barrel, 3/4 in high, about 1 in wide approx. 5 inches in front of receiver. Barrel is free floated back to that point, from there back to magazine cutout in Stock is Steel Bed, 1/4" thick +, with just enough under tang to "level" things out.

It'll put 350 gr HAWKS into 3/4 in at 100 yards all day long. Sure adjusted the attitude of a 53" Moose in British Columbia back in '96. Was early in the rut, he came in lookin for a fight.Quartering towards me I broke his shoulder. The bullet continued back to destroy lungs, ended up beyond the diaphragm someplace. 5+ feet of Moose Penetration. Gotta love those big heavy bullets......
