I thought I would check my other rifles for this "thumb cut out/gas escape" topic, My Westley Richards 318WR on a 1953 commercial FN mauser action has the cut out but can not stripper clip load, My Mauser style CZ 550 Safari Magnum in 375H&H has no cut out but does have a bit of a gap inside...

Bertram Brass I have used in 470 Nitro and 318 Westley Richards with no problems, I believe Kynoch in the UK use his brass also.

Apart from left hand bolt rifles, What rifles are ambidextrous for both left and right, the ones I have are true ambidextrous Winchester 1895 Ruger No1 Winchester1885 Most other rifles may be used by left/right like Winchester 94 or Remington 7600 but loading or ejection is for right hand but...

Thats the way I worked right bolt rifles also.

I love the Ruger No1!!

But their not making any more but cost more than double I'm guessing , there was a left hand bespoke Rigby in 416 Rigby for sale not long ago in Australia ,he was wanting about $35,000 compared to about $45,000 new but a bit of money ! I was going to move on it but it sold! oh well keep...

The 3 safeties for the Zastava's and bottom metal obendorf type large capacity who did you go with? I like the Rigby drop box style.... I too do not like changing classic rare rifles too much but Zastava rifles why not? but just found out no more left hand Zastava rifles for Australia, not sure...

I like them all but there different, actually the Zastava at the moment but I'll give that a rest then try the Winchester or CZ for a while, ....Yes I was looking at getting a right hand 416 Rigby and putting barrel and mag box on to left hand 375H&H and modify the bolt face and extractor but...

When your left handed and after a certain CRF rifle DO NOT WAIT thinking, I will wait a few months and buy it then. The gun makers only make left handed for a short time , example Winchester Safari Express in 375H&H and CZ 550 Safari Magnum in 375H&H both no more to be made, so I have collected...

Only relaying what i've read....

Your pretty quick on the BS, I researched this a bit seems John Paul Mauser designed the 98 with thumb cut for stripper clip loading but ALSO to vent gas in case of case rupture but when the Magnum Mauser was made by Mauser for Rigby, which do not use stripper clips, the thumb cut was retained...

The original Mauser 98 in military form used stripper clips and the thumb cut helped load the rifle but the Magnum Mauser could not be used with stripper clips but still retained the cut out, but I read some time back the cut out also acted to help divert gas in case of case rupture etc, so it...

A original! very impressive, looking at at a left hand version, tending now with cut out, What barrel length does it have?

I am looking at getting a single square bridge with the original flag safety

I am getting some quotes on a new Rigby in 416 Rigby but in left Hand but I notice you can have the thumb cut out or have solid side , Which is better? Does it Matter? I am leaning to solid side as thumb cut out was left over design for stripper clips but I don't think these existed in 416 Rigby...

forgot to say yes the Ruger in 450/400 has a bit of recoil but not enough to put me off with open sights , I am just really sighting in now, coke can at 25 yards no problem but can not hit those Beer cans!

No scope yet but look at putting on a Swarovski Z6i 1=6x24
