I have an action from a 7Rem Mag. Can I put a 416 Rem Mag barrel and have it feed through this action?

Maybe.

What action is it?

What brand is the action? Some easy, some need a new mag box only and some can't without major work. A 416 Taylor would be a sure bet in any action.


"Experience" is the only class you take where the exam comes before the lesson.

The max OAL cartridge length of the 416Rem is 3.60"
This is the same as the 375H&H but significantly longer than the 3.290 Max length of the 7mmMag

I find it "odd" that the 7mmMag MAX OCL is actually shorter than the 30-06 COL of 3.340" when the 7mmMag was specifically designed to fit in a 30-06 length action.

If you have a Remington 700 or a Win M70 you'll be fine.
in anything else.... ?

The action is a Rem BDL

The Remington 700 in 7mmMag is built on Remington's "Long" action, which IS a
"Magnum" (375H&H length) action.

a 416 will go right in.

You probably won't need more than a few touchups to the feed rails, if that...
