Just noted 500 Grains' question was re rechambering to the 450NE No2. According to JJ this rifle is best rechambered to 450NE 3 1/4" due to the rather slim action width and from what I took from our conversation this is the case with most rifles in 458wm. I'm no smith but from looking at COW (which has lately gone missing... oh children...) and my rifle it seems the size of the 450NE No2 would present issues both with regard to action width and barrel meat at and down from the face. The taper of the barrels being for the shorter 458wm and not for the really long and thicker 450NE No2.

Just a note for the benefit of all, including myself, I bought the rifle with the idea that it should be rechambered. With JJ's recomendation to try it as a 458wm, I'd hoped to save some $'s. This has not worked to my satisfaction though I'm sure plenty of others would be quite satisfied so I'm only back to my original game plan. I'll end up rechambering the rifle. Also since I generally buy only what I intend to keep I'll probably restock the rifle for me, a lefty with an unusually strong desire to shoot guns that fit me. So far I really like this rifle so what might seem to be lots of modifications are pretty much par for the course for me. As a lefty most all guns are projects for me, whether the gun is a shotgun or this rifle.
