Which rifle do we crown as the best looking ever?

11 lbs for a .450-400?

At 12lbs scoped, this wouldn’t be the funnest gun to carry all day in the bush, but it would be the mildest recoiling dangerous game double ever made. With 15-3/8” LOP it would fit a giant man that hates recoil. (I’m one of those, but I don’t need such a gun at the moment)
 
The Lee enfild rifles are quite something pretty to me, and the Winchester 1895, and the rotary rounds. All of these rifles would be very nice to own

There may be no answer, just curious individual consensus.

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
