May still have one or two, let me check later today, I used to load for a couple of 416 Rigby's. If I remember correctly, one is an accurate custom mold, one is a NOE mold.

If you want other options, do a "google" for "dovetail mount picatinny rail".
There are a number of them out there, finding something in stock might be a challenge.
Good luck.

And the last one to the top, getting time to kill these 3 listings and try something else.
And go cut the grass, finish loading that batch of 30 Carbine and 6.5 Creedmoor.

Didn't check, but I remember the 16 grain military cast load as being recommended for 8mm-30-06 sized cases. I've used it a lot in those sized cases, I'm not sure how they would work in a 45-70.

I've got one, it was given to me 3-4 years ago. I haven't had the time to fool with it much. I'll dig out my load data for it. I think I used a NOE 150 grain spire point. Fun little rifle to shoot.
