[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 2174732, member: 24284"] I have built several .375 H&H and .416 Rem Mag rifles over the years. None had less than 24" barrels, and my clients wanted #4 contour barrels (which I obliged and agree with). You need 24" of barrel to satisfy these long magnum cartridges, other wise you might as well use a .45/70. There are only certain actions that synthetic, safari style stocks are made for. I'd research those before committing to 'what action'. Not many made that are compatible with a scope [I]and[/I] open sights. Control Round Feed is desirable but not required. Consider that US Military battle rifles are push feeds, and those are designed for the most dangerous 'game' of all. The last .375 I built has been to Kodiak Island and Africa (on a Rem 700). All the others I have built have seen their intended use, also,,, except for 1, and he just wanted a big thumper to shoot. I saw Sunny Hill mentioned earlier in this thread, and I think those items are available direct from Sunny Hill again. Swift Bullets bought Blackburn Bottom Metal and now produces that. Expect to wait for either one as the custom bottom metals are a niche market, for sure. [/QUOTE]
