Glad you finally got a chance to use it! I hope it proves satisfactory for you. Use it in good health

PM sent with a few questions.

This is quite a deal I think. Aside from the Lipsey rifles, all of them have shorter barrels and do not balance as well. Not many of these around.

The rimfire scope is now sold, so all the scopes are spoken for. Thanks everyone for their interest.

The only remaining scope is the Freedom 3x9. The Midway site has them for $299 (Free ship, but plus tax for most places). You can find a picture of the reticle on the site as well. Here's the link: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1019637973?pid=874759

Yes indeed. A decade or two ago it would’ve been perfect for me. I’m about to turn age 69 and I can’t see the reticle well enough anymore. That’s why I put it up for sale. I did think it was best to make sure that was evident in the listing so anyone buying it would know that.

Scope #2 is SPF to John.

Reply sent. The 1.5x5 is SPF.

I'm cleaning out some scopes that aren't in use currently to upgrade. Prices include shipping by Priority USPS mail within the US, insured, with tracking number provided as soon as shipped. I won't ship outside the US, sorry. First "I'll take it" gets it. PM with any questions. All of the...

Edster, nevertheless, safety first!

Price lowered to $250 shipped in the US.

I am the original owner of this chrono and have not used it very much. The protective plastic on the screen has not been removed. Although I have the original manual (somewhere!) I cannot find it and don't know if it will turn up. So, I have printed a manual from the web site. It comes with the...

The barrel arrived today with the best packing job I have ever seen. It’s in perfect condition exactly as described if not better. ET1775 is highly recommended!

Reassignment surgery…. LOL

ET1775, thanks for your understanding. We in California have some difficulty getting things as well, but it pales in comparison to what you have to deal with.

I’ll take it. PM to follow.

Wow, don't know how this came back up after all these years. RIP Mr. Quimby. Happy Hunting.

I have used the 300 grain Barnes TSX and the 458 loaded with a starting charge of H – 4198. It kicks more than a 270, although much less than standard 458 loads. It was very accurate in my gun. Surprising. But if you missed with a 270, and recoil sensitivity/fear was a part of her shooting...

Lovely wood figure on that one. These can be a lot of fun. The Barnes 300 grain TTSX shoots surprisingly well in a 458.

Yes indeed.

I would like to sell the 375 bullets and cases listed below as one lot. Not pictured are 63 Privi (PPU) unfired cases (Grafs price 1.34 ea $84.42). At Grafs and Midway current prices per unit, the total cost would be about $685. Note in the photo that 22 the Barnes 300 TSX bullets have been...

They’re yours. Will answer by PM

These are 1x fired factory ammunition. Six boxes are Hornady match brass, and two boxes are Barnes. One of the boxes of Barnes brass is nickel plated. $90 shipped in the US for the whole bunch. PM with any questions. First “I’ll take it” gets them. Thanks, Jeff

All 6x scopes sold. 3x still available.

3x and 6x Leupold still available as shown.

Still available

Reduced again. $225 plus $15 shipping for remaining scopes #1 and # 4. Jeff

Yes. He was a straight up guy, and he wouldn’t have wanted that to happen. Quite a character He was a straight up guy, and he wouldn’t of wanted that to happen. Quite a character so I’ve been told.

To the members: I have learned on another forums (where Safari Kid was well known and liked) that he suddenly passed away. He was a big bore enthusiast, to say the least. He has a couple remaining posts on the for sale forum here. RIP SK. Jeff Davis

I'm changing up some scopes and am selling the two Leupold scopes below. They are scopes #1 and #4. The other two scopes are sold. Neither of them have any marks on the glass that I can find. Both have the coin-slot type adjustment turrets. The scopes do not have any issues and function just as...

The 404 is the holy Grail I think, I have never seen one in person. I got the 450/400 instead, which is probably better in a single shot like that anyway. Nevertheless the 404 would be very tempting and I’m sure quite expensive

I have owned Ruger no. 1 rifles in many calibers, and currently have them in 6mm Remington, 6.5 Creedmoor, 7x57, 30-06, 300 H&H 375 H&H, 450/400, and 458. I’ve owned the 300, 7x57 and 450/400 for about 15 years. I recently sold a 416 Rigby that I shot for a bit. I found it to be a bit much in...

Not that it adds much to the comments above, but Butch is a totally solid, great guy to do business with. The buyer can be assured everything will be at least as good and likely better than described. Hope the medical problems are sorted out soon and you can get back to Africa.

I suppose that’s possible too. Anyway, I’ve caused enough trouble at the sellers expense, I’ll butt out. A cool rifle regardless, and the possible blend of the New Haven an FN details make it even more interesting as a potential buyer, at least to me.

That's really interesting too! Never saw a NH gun with one piece bottom metal! From the factory that is.

Got to be NH made! My apologies. Ive not seen one without the G prefix.

I suppose that settles it. But the serial number doesn't jive with a NH gun, and the bolt shroud is like the FN rifles. It would be interesting to know if the trigger is the traditional M70 type or the MOA (enclosed) trigger like the FNs. Also, does it have one piece or two piece bottom metal...

I apologize if I'm incorrect, but I believe that is an FN manufactured rifle, not New Haven. The serial number does not begin with a "G", which all New Haven manufactured M70s do. Not a knock on the rifle at all. Personally I prefer the FN guns.

Well well. Good looking out!

I would suggest that you look into the particulars of having it shipped to the USA, given the comments about the European market. There are dealers/shippers who can help with that, although I cannot give you any names. If you have those details arranged and advertise it for sale here in the US...

Could will be true about the European market. I have no idea how things are there.

As far as the link to the gun broker auction, that is not a factory rifle. I know it’s a manufacture date in the 1940s, and the 458 was introduced until 1956. That’s a custom gun. Whatever value it has nothing to do with this Rifle. Given that the cartridge was not introduced until 1956, and...

I would say that the baseline price would be 8K and perhaps up to 10 K.

Looks like it’s a 1956 rifle.

A little hard to tell the era this rifle is from based on the pics, but the hole in the bolt handle, rear sight and forend checkering pattern look pre 64. So, def a valuable rifle. I do see some dealers in the us trying to get 8-10k for these, but have no idea if the sell or not.

Sad state of affairs.
