NO LAYAWAYS Payment Types Accepted: NO CREDIT CARD FEE Description: Custom built from a Winchester 70 push feed action,rebarreled to .416 TAYLOR** with fixed iron sights and a Leupold 2.5x scope,comes with brass and die set. 24" barrel...9.5 lbs. Very good condition! Bore is like new! ** The cartridge was created to replace the magnum length .416 Rigby which at that time was nearly obsolete, with a cartridge that would fit into a standard length bolt-action rifle. The shorter action rifles are not only easier to carry in heavy cover, but also make it more convenient to carry more ammunition . The advantages to cartridges in .416 inch bullet diameter are that they generally present the shooter with less recoil and flatter trajectory than the larger .458 caliber dangerous game rifles (like the .458 Winchester Magnum). They also have more striking power and penetration than medium bores like the .375 H&H Magnum. The Taylor cartridge is simply a necked down .458 Winchester Magnum with no changes. SOLD |
