I hope you were gentle with the .416 Taylor, it is just a baby. Smiler

MJines, What are those scope bases you used on that rear bridge that still has the charger hump. Are they just weaver grand slam bases part# (?) for military mauser?

I need a set

GSP7, those are Warne bases and I had to do a small amount of mill work on the rear base so it would fit right. The base was supposed to be able to clear the hump but wouldn't quite make it.HTH,
