.358 Norma Magnum
Rigby does the .350 Rigby now. I shot one the other day.
Back to the first post question. I'd try to buy a Parker Hale 1200 M98 rifle and "chop it up" as needed
A fraction of the price to buying a comple new M98 action.
This would be a good buy. The 350 Rigby can be loaded to equal or slightly better the 358 Norma Mag.
One thing I'd like to see is Rigby ditch the 225 gr .350 Rigby ammunition loading, and replace it with a 250 gr SP and FMJ.
I think one reason the .350 Rigby never took off was tHihe too light low SD 225 gr bullet. Compared to the .318 WR .330" 250 gr bullet.
Even possibly a 275 gr bullet might be suitable.
