@TOBY458 you are giving that away. If you were in the UK I'd be heading over to yours for a tea and that rifle. Glws

If you're going to make him drink tea, Mani, the price goes to $6000.

Had it been in .416 Rem, I would have been reaching out, GLWS.

I think @jayebirdwell has a 416 R8 barrel for sale. If you wanted the stock and bolt from my rifle, I could sell my barrel separately.

A spot of tea Ole Chap! I got a good deal on it, so just passing along the savings!

After a bit of thinking, I’ve decided not to sell this rifle. I was thinking I probably don’t need a 458 anymore, as my elephant hunting is most likely over. But ya never know!

You'd have to change your handle to TOBYNO458

Also don’t know why Blaser has never cut barrels for the .416 Rigby.

I think if they did, the magazine would only hold 2 rounds. I wish they’d do a 404 J. I think that would hold 3 and would be a nice classic cartridge as well.

Don’t underestimate my propensity to own another 458 within two months of selling this one! lol!

Saw where Jaqua’s in Findlay, Ohio has a Mauser M03 for sale in .458 Lott, I think for $4500. Kinda similar, I guess. FWIW.

Saw this post and thought "oh no, what's happened to Toby.." Glad all good, but got me thinking about a local use for a 458 here in Louisiana.
Big bore hog hunting sounds fun, punishing, and a great real life way to safely (sort of, unless charged) to learn to hunt and shoot big bores in realistic scenarios... bacon thumper.

Use a 338 Lapua Mag magazine. The 416 is the parent case.

I could change my mind on this one. Five bands is a lot to say no to. lol!

Do you know how many rounds the Lapua holds in the magazine?
