Top looks good to me. But bottom is probably stronger wood with the grain running appropriately.

I think the funniest part would be watching you walk up to the gun store counter asking for a box of 458 Win Mag shells. I can see the beads of sweat popping up on your forehead now. LOL!

Understandable. Probably would be even more difficult to modify to the larger rim diameter, but who knows? Only one way to find out….

Could you rechamber to straight 450 Nitro? Seems that would be pretty straightforward @IvW But I’d bet the extractor modification would be the most costly thing.

Just did business with @K-man and @Green Chile on a couple of transactions. Both were a pleasure to work with.

Praying for you buddy! You’ll get through this!

Not sure about Leopard, but I’ve eaten lion before and it’s actually pretty tasty. The PH wouldn’t touch it though. It was against his religion.

Awesome cat and awesome report Charlie!!!

Any decision on caliber yet?

Did anyone ever make this conversion to 9.3x62? Just curious how it turned out.

Well, I currently have four Tikkas. So I hope none of them blow up. lol! They’re made by Sako as well, so I’m not too worried about it. At the end of the day, if my Sako 75 doesn’t sell, I won’t be all that disappointed. It’s been a very good rifle over the years, and I’ll just hang onto it...

Yes. Fortunately, this is an older rifle imported by Stoeger. This was pre safety key lock. I’ve kind of gone all in on Tikka T3x and Blaser R8 for my hunting. So I figured I’d let this one go to a good home.

Sunday bump. Someone needs this I know!

Ask Dalton if they have another bull in 2025!

I used 450 gr CEB Raptors and Solids last year, and they worked great as well. Looking forward to shooting a bulk elephant in 2025! Will use either a 458 or 416 with CEB solids.
