I am using one of the factory Winchester magazine boxes, that I have modified to provide more room for the shoulder of the cartridges. At this time, it seems to work well, but it is still in development/prototyping stages. If you look at what Winchester did For the WSM and the ultra mag...

Please Don’t Hijack! Before this turns into another AH 19 page back-and-forth, I’m going to politely as I can, and with as little humor and sarcasm as I’m capable of, ask you to not hijack this thread. This thread is for .375 and .416 Ruger cartridges in a model 70 action. I’ve been on this...

I found some pictures that I took about six months ago that shows some cartridges sitting in a standard model 70 magazine box that has straight walls from bottom to top and then you can see a picture of the cartridges sitting in a gun that has a modified magazine box and you can see how well the...

I have started building a few .375 and .416 Ruger rifles for a couple of friends and myself. All of them are going to be on Model 70 classic actions that were originally .300 Win mag or .338 win mag. I got the first .416 threaded and chambered and then test fired. The belted magnum magazine box...

Loaded up some .416 Ruger for a gun I'm building, needed a few test fire loads.

#2 arrived today well packed and as described; Thank you

Scope arrived today, well packed and in great condition.

I was able to pick up this gun today from my FFL. Everything was packed very well and looks great. An excellent seller to deal with.

It didn’t, I did remove the pad that is on it in the pictures, the hard plastic top section was brutal. Put on the same NEGC pad, but without the plastic top.
