Dorleac 404 Jeffery Rifle Being Built

Build pics this time, courtesy M Joel Dorleac. This, of course, is an opening salvo. Do enjoy these pics as the rifle gets completed and I receive more pics leading up to this beauty's completion.

Good hunting, everyone!

Oberndorf Mauser with a square bridge on the front ring only?
Never seen that before.

Beautiful work for sure.

I think you are thinking rear square bridge on the Rigbys.
Many of the 350 Rigbys had the rear square bridge and a flat machined into the barrel for the front scope mount. Just about all of the 416 Rigbys were rear square bridge, and some had a standard type magnum action with rounded tops on front and rear. I think a few may have been built with the double square bridge, but not many.

You are correct of course btw I was responding to SSB without thought of where it was on the action. Those I have seen were Warren Anderson's plus a few others. From memory his were Rigby 350 magnum express converted to 375 Holland as were the others bar one.
