This custom rifle is a witches brew of just the right ingredients coming together to make something magic. We had an already chambered 20-inch .416 Rem Mag carbine barrel in the shop when another custom project resulted in the perfect stock becoming available. We filled in the rest of the missing pieces and the resulting rifle is a killer dangerous game rifle for brush use or as a guide gun.
Here are the details:
- Lilja .416 #C1 contour barrel finished at 20"
- 1960 Group VI Type-III-3 Magnum action
- .375 H&H Alaskan premium walnut stock with modifications:
- Front swivel position delete
- Rear swivel position conversion to Super Grade
- Dummy barrel screw
- Custom cross-bolt
- Lug and barrel channel bedding
- NECG R-300 barrel band swivel mount
- Talon 1.5" QD swivels
- Reproduction African rear sight
- NECG Masterpiece R-100 banded front sight ramp
- NECG Masterpiece red fiber optic front sight insert
- NECG Masterpiece R-106 front sight hood
The action are a factory-matched .458 Magnum and in original finishes. The barrel is line-grain polished and oxide blued to match the factory pre-64 barrel finish. The stock retains its original factory recoil pad with a small cosmetic blemish at the lower screw hole. The stock checkering is original and crisp and has been refinished to closely match the factory finish. The action has been lug bedded to the stock and the barrel channel has been floated from 1.5" all the way through to the tip.
