z1r Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Built a few 375 Rugers in the last year or so and was so impressed with both the cartridge & case that I just knew that it wouldn't be long before a 416 Would be in the works. Here is a 416 Ruger next to a Whitworth .375 H&H barreled action. The 416 barrel has a quicker taper just ahead of the receiver ring and the barrel is a bit thinner than the. 375. This allows for a 26" barrel that balances the same as the Whitworth but is more than a 1/2 lb lighter. Sights, barrel band, recoil lug still to come. Test fired it yesterday in a Houge Overmolded stock. Recoil was brisk but very managable. It will be stocked in walnut so that the weight w/o scope will be just under 8 lbs.
