Yes, yes you do.Also curious to see how this turns out. I don’t “need” a .404J…
Call and ask him. He likes to tinker. I’ve talked to him 4-5 times through this. He’s a fun old dude to talk toDo you think it's possible for him to build an integrally suppressed barrel like the Silence? This could be interesting
Rigby won't work on an R8. Rem Mag is perfect.Curious to hear how it goes. I would like a 416 Rigby barrel but I could always get a 416 Remington factory barrel and get some brass.
I'm fine with a 416 Rem. I don't know much about it but there was a 416 Rigby R8 barrel at the Ft Worth gun show this weekend. A member here sent me the photo...Rigby won't work on an R8. Rem Mag is perfect.
If they could squeeze it in there, I'd be surprised. Not saying what you saw doesn't exist, but I'd think it would be a tough order to make it work. Not sure what magazine or bolt head they'd use. And if it could be done, you'd only fit two in the magazine I'm guessing. 416 Rem mag works perfectly though, with three in the magazine. Zero advantage to the Rigby IMO.I'm fine with a 416 Rem.

Actually, I didn't see your picture you posted with your comment above. I guess someone made it work! But still, no advantage in doing so, and would definitely limit magazine capacity, much like the 500 Jeffery R8.I wouldn't be surprised if there are issues like you said. I didn't see the barrel myself. I'm fine with 416 Rem with 3 in mag. That's perfect.
