Didn’t they have problems with bore diameter?

Wonder how hard it would be to build one on a model 70 375 or 458?

The capstick is based on a blown out 375H&H case (basic brass), screw old barrel off, new on, especially if the donor rifle was originally a 375. ie has correct magazine follower, bolt stop correct length etc.
The tough part is getting the feed correct!
Great stopping round, tops the Lott!

I've heard these rifles are very nice. It would be hard to make one of these feed badly.
