416 w 20" Barrel
02/10/08 01:43 AM

All,

I have been thinking for some time about how to build the ultimate buffalo rifle.

My most recent inspiration is this:

Take a Brno 602 Magnum Mauser (That I already have), Glass Bed it, Tune and Jewel the action, add two cross bolts and add a 20" barrel. It will carry express sights and wear a Swarovski Z6 illuminated in 1-6x.

Now, for the caliber. In order to make the short barrel work, my thought is to build the rifle in 416 Wby, but then load it only hot enough to get traditional 416 ballistics (400gr at 2370fps - 2410fps) out of a 20" barrel. Essentially, it will be a loaded down wby or a souped up rigby depending on how you look at it.

Thoughts?
