[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 22158, member: 3"] That action comes in a 416 Rigby version so there is no bolt modification required. I don't know the specifics but believe he'll use a 1.25 barrel blank. This is a controlled round feed action which will be nice for a change. I won't use a barrel block but will straight taper the barrel after about 4 or 5 inches and glass under the barrel for about 4 inches in front of the action. George measured the magazine length for me yesterday and reported the 3.9 inches, he currently shoots one and says he loads the 338 Lapua and the 300 Sierra long and they fit fine. He was shooting his at BadLands Tactical last year and getting 2900fps from a 28 inch barrel using the 300 Sierra. He also reported that he has begun using VV560 and has had loads over 3000fps from the same gun. He reported that he's tried Warren Jensen's 270 grain 338 caliber bullets and they shoot very well from the Mike Rock barrel. I may need to give the J40 270 grain bullet a try, it's BC is reported as .871 I believe. [/QUOTE]
