Looking for a bolt action 458 Lott. Looking for a good shooter that has character or a little rough around the edges.

That's a nice rifle, but a little more than I am looking to spend.
 
Your best bet is going to be settling for a .458wm. Keep an eye out for Winchester to make a run of Safaris.

I have no problem with a 458 WM as long as it is chambered in a platform that can be converted to Lott.

458wm winchester 70's can be made into lott with extremely minimal modification. Reamer and remove mag spacer (if it even has it) and good to go as far as I understand.

Different bolt stop as well from what I have read.

Not a bad job.
 
I have had 3 458 Lotts and like the cartridge. But with today’s powders, if you are a reloader, the magic 2150 fps is doable with a 458 Win. Sure some folks want more but it has been proven for more then a 100 years that a 480 gr bullet at 2150 will get the job done on the biggest thick skinned animals.
And usually the $s are less.
Good luck with your quest.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!
