What to do with a CZ barrel chambered in .416 Rigby? This was a new barrel and don't want to see it go to waste. The contour of these slim down pretty fast and with the fat Rigby chambering is there any other reamer that would clean up the chamber. New chambering would most likely need to be shorter to allow for set-back, new threads etc. Maybe something for standard length or even short action? Any options?

From my limited experience, Once a 416 Rigby...Always a 416 Rigby! They are pretty huge. Probably a full "bull" could be shortened enough and have enough shank to rethread/rechamber to something else is the only scenario I can see. My friend got sop frustrated with a reneged 416 Rigby job that he sold the douglas premium barrel, reamer, dies, cases for $100.00

I was just interested in what others do with perfectly good take off barrels. Just did not want this one to go to waste.

Most people with take off barrels sell them. Lou
