Quick Look
The .458 Winchester Magnum is a powerful big-game rifle cartridge designed in 1956 for dangerous game hunting in Africa. While not originally chambered in the M1 Garand, some custom conversions exist to combine the semi-auto platform with large-bore power. These niche builds cater to collectors and hunters seeking unique, high-impact rifles.
Why It's a Top Choice
- Extremely powerful cartridge for dangerous game or utility use
- Unique pairing with a classic M1 Garand action
