Custom Safari rifle by Bill Sturtevant - 416 Rem caliber

This weekend I added another 416 to the family. I hope to have it in hand in a couple weeks. 416 is my favorite caliber. This makes number 12 - eight (8) 416 Rigbys, a 416 Hoffman, a 416 Taylor, a 416 Van Horn, and now a 416 Remington.

I can find very little information about William (Bill) Sturtevant. I would hope someone here may have additional information about Bill. I would like to get in touch with him in hopes that he might tell me about this most interesting rifle. It appears the action of this rifle was built from scratch as I cannot find any others like it. Here is the information posted on the auction site.

as always I appreciate your comments

I don't know Bill, but my son does. Bill was a student and instructor at Trinidad gun smithing school. He now has a shop in Colorado, but I don't remember where. My son says he's probably as good a gunsmith as ever lived. Mostly builds guns on his own actions now I believe and does a lot of ultra long range prairie dog shooting.
