To add to Cajun’s list, what is barrel length to the point of the first hole (if someone wanted to cut and re-crown)?

Nice wood on that one

thank you all for the feedback. Herewith more details on the rifle and myself.
- rifle was bought at an auction and i've fired minimal rounds
- length of pull is just over 14"
- from markings the trigger is a Timney
- Barrel length is 25"
- the porting runs a length of 3"
- Unsure of the action but it looks to be FN
- the wooden stock has been beautifully inletted to allow for the peep sights
- i've borescoped the barrel and everything looks excellent (not surprising considering cost of 458 ammunition and recoil)

I don't have a huge internet presence but you can find submissions on brianenos.com (pistol shooting), longrangeshooting.com and M1A forums under the handle of 2scoops. After a recent safari trip with my Krieghoff 450/400 and seeing the performance on large game, i've come to the realization that the 450/400 has everything i need (and it's a double ) with much less recoil. Previous dealings on AH include the purchase of a 9.3x62 from AZDAVE

Houston based if anyone locally would like to view the rifle

Excellent details. A Krieghoff double is a great rifle, this brand the first double I got to shoot and led me down that road. 450/400 is a favorite round, understand why you are selling the.458.
It is a nice rifle and the wood is very nice.
Good luck with the sale.

item sold. Thank you all

p.s. Gun may have been built by, or stock-only by Paul Jaeger. His (stockmaker Fritz Voight's) shadowline, fine checkering and interestingly-shaped pistol grip was a trademark. 25" bbl (like the 64 cm factory Steyr/25.1") likely originated in Europe. Appears to be quite the antique.

I don’t know how I missed this one! Gorgeous rifle!
