Second, being a lever aficionado, I would love some day to have a custom Browning BLR built in .416 Taylor or maybe the new .416 Ruger. That would be a modern levergun I would scope and use on virtually anything, anywhere on the planet.
A gunsmith mate of mine has anready built 3 Browning BLR's in 416 Ruger, he starts with a 300 Win Mag and using the takedown feature, rebarrels to 416 Ruger, no other modifications at all. Feeds great, they shoot really well, other than recoil being a bit heavy.
He now has an engineering firm making the "locking recess" part to then have a number of barrels already chambered and headspaced, making it a true switch barrel affair.
