It's a 416 BLR. The browning has locking lugs like a bolt gun. I understand the locking lugs are built into the barrel instead of the receiver.

Did they have a whole new barrel machined? That seems unlikely.

Just rebarrel one of he long action magnum BLRs, nothing magic about it. The part the bolt locks up in is screwed to the barrel just like an AR-type.

Well,heck. I'm going to have my smith get on one of these right away then.

Seriously, I'm going to do some research.
