You’d need to open the channel a bit, but only a very little (I know as I tried it on a Guide Gun in .416 Ruger, a rifle I once owned). Some fine grit sandpaper wrapped around a wooden dowel would easily do the trick.
As for the action itself, it is a perfect, drop in fit.

It's the only I've seen that isn't black. Bought it a few years ago, for my Guide Gun. Wound up selling the Guide Gun (to fund a falling block rifle project I am working on) and therefore no longer need the stock.
By the way, I really miss the Guide Gun. She was a damn fine piece and I sometimes wonder whether it was the right decision, to sell. The only consolation is that I can pick up another some day, if I am so inclined.
The only problem I see with putting in on a 416 is the recoil pad is mighty thin on those stocks, and I doubt you could get an aftermarket pad for it. I bet it would do fine on a 300 or 338 though.
The Guide Gun pad is a bit softer and thicker and is a perfect fit (screw hole spacing and all). Other than that, any grind-to-fit pad could be put on and shaped as easily as on any other stock.
