416 Rigby Double Square Bridge Actions
I have ended up with two double square bridge actions (damn the luck) that are set up for a 416 Rigby (hold 4 down).

One will be made into a 416 Rigby, but I haven't decided what to do with the second action. I have been thinking of using it for a 450 Rigby.

Any other caliber suggestions?

Would a 505 Gibbs fit?
I think that would be kind of neat.

It's a Mauser thing, you wouldn't understand.

Jeffe,

I think the bolt diameter is 0.700", the action is the Satterlee action I recently took deliver of.

Thanks

How about two matching 416's?
If not not, it screams 450 Rigby.

If I ever shoot the barrel out on my 416, I think it would get a 450 barrel.
