I had not even thought about the thread size!
Makes sense that the non-step action was standardized for the 416 and 350 Magnum and presumably used from that point on for new builds.




Don't know as a fact, but if you are referring to the current Rigby builds, I doubt any Highland Stalker based rifles use the same action as the "Big Game model" .416 rifles. The Highlamd Stalker rifles are designed as "medium action" rifles not big game rifles. Specific action sizes? Don't know.




I was referring to the run of pre war Rigby 416s and 350s.
The new 350 looks to be on a standard length action.
There is certainly good reason to use a magnum length action for the 416, although as we know Rigby also built the occasional 416 on a standard action, but the 350 doesn't really need to be a magnum length any more than a 333 or 404 Jeffery do.
Of course, once available, Jeffery used magnum '98 actions for those too, so maybe it was a cache' deal - making sporting rifles on actions that were never meant to be for military use.
