Hello, I am considering having a .416 Taylor put together on a M70 action.I would like to know if the new barrel needs a secondary recoil barrel lug or is it not necessary? I plan on using a synthetic stock. Thankyou | ||

I hunted with a 416 Taylor for about 10 years. It had a Claro walnut stock, two crossbolts and a godd bed-job. I practised regulary with the rifle and maby put 1000 rounds thru it. I didn´t have a extra recoil lug installed on the rifle (FN m-98) and didn´t have any problems at all. Claro walnut isn´t the best choise for a big cartridge like that but the stock standed up to the task great. In my opinion you will do just fine without a extra recoil lug on a 416 T, it´s not the heavyest of the big-game rounds...... If you use a good glass/carbon fibre stock from McMillan for example the stock vill perform well if you give it a proper bedding. Good luck with your new rifle!

I'd far prefer this: .416 Ruger with a .338 Win Mag round in the center for reference.  over the 416 Taylor....it's the 416 Ruger and it easily duplicates the 416Rem Mag in a standard length magazine.....I'm putting one on a '98 Mauser now. /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

I have a HVA/m-98 action laying in my shop waiting to be turned into a 416 Rigby för myselfe some day. I have to admit that the 416 Ruger looks really good and would solve a few problems a Rigby would create in a standard m-98 action  My plan when I built my 416 Taylor was first a Rigby but if fell short due to all the problems the big Rigby case create in a standard length action. I have now hunted with 9,3 rifles for about 10 years and like them a lot. My "big-game" here in Sweden is moose and boars so I do just fine with a 9,3 The dream of a buffalo in Africa is starting to grow in my mind so the bigger rounds have a bit of intrerest again _____________________________________________ The bitter taste of poor quality stays in the mouth far longer than the sweet taste of the low price! | |||

I'll also agree with that. There is some romance associated with the Rigby but basically it is just over-kill today. You don't need that giant case and the giant action to go along with it anymore. My little 7.5 lb. Taylor will do anything a 9.5 lb. (or more) Rigby will do. ------------------------------- Will Stewart / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

Absolutly Will! There is no logical reson att all to build a Rigby these days but The huge Rigby case is a classic that just make my hart skip a beat  The 416 Taylor or mabye the new Ruger will probably be one of the most effective and economical way to bulid a big/dangerous-game rifle. Plenty of energi and great bullets in many different styles.
