A modernized 416

I don’t think it’s commonplace on the traditional European style safari guns but I will be running one on my modernized build.
I've been seeing bigger knobs showing up on newer European rifles, especially ones geared towards driven hunts. Seems like it would make sense on a DG rifle, a shorter bolt throw would be a cool development too.
 
For a modern 416 I’d reach out to Long Rifles Inc, Blue Mountain Precision, and West Texas Ordnance. Both LRI and Blue Noubtain can build a 416 using the ARC Mausingfield action if you want controlled round feed. WTO has an action that you can easily swap barrels without needing to use a vice.

There is a good chance that I will have LRI do the work as I have had them do stuff in the past and have always been happy. If I decide to go with CRF I will use an ARC action for sure, my only complaint with them is that all their rails have build in MOA that I don’t need for this rifle, I’m not sure if that’s even an actual problem or just in my head.
 
I don’t think you’ll have any issues with a 20 MOA rail on the action. I’d check your scope to see what amount of elevation travel it has. The 20 MOA rail will probably put you in the middle or upper half of your elevation travel. The open top Mausingfield action will also accept direct mount rings if you don’t want the picatinny rail
