Yes
It is interesting though, the “stripper clip slots” are common to most of the magnum length actions but I don’t believe there are clips that would work with any of the common “magnum” class cartridges.
Sort of dispels the notion that the clip slots are unique to military actions.

Please post more photos when you can, that's a great looking rifle!


As an aside, here's a link to a .400/350 that sold at some point on Gun Broker - the stepped action etc., are just like yours. I'm assuming it's all original, so the photos may be a good reference to what your rifle used to be!
