Been looking for one with sights for a couple of years. Gonna turn a .416 Rigby into a .450 Rigby (or Dakota).

As many custom builders as there are who use the CZ as a base action, I thought one of these would be a lot easier to find than it has turned out to be.

Jeff,

I'm up to my eyeballs in .375s. I need a .458! Big Grin

How abut unscrewing one of yours and letting me have it for, say, about 50 bucks?

And while I've got you on the line, I guess I am correct in assuming that all I have to do to convert the .416 Rigby to .450 Rigby is ream a .458 Win Mag barrel, screw it in and set the head space. The action and magazine should feed and function "as is" since they are both the same parent cartridge, yes?
