Some years back, Ruger offered their tang safety model, which had a long mauser type extractor with spring loaded ejector, in .375 H&H, .404J, and .416Rigby, and .458WM. Later, when the Mk II came out, only the .375 and .416 were retained. I think only a few of the .404's were sold, and if one was found, today would bring a pretty penny.
Geronimo,
Are you sure about that?
From what I remember of the tang safety Ruger MK 1, the action was never produced any longer than 30-06 length.
It was available in .458 Win Mag but would have been way too short for .375 H&H, .404J, or .416 Rigby.
