This is 100% correct. This rifle would not be particularly to my taste, but the OP said he liked the velocity of the Weatherby. It’s a nice barreled action (presumably) and stocks are relatively cheap and plentiful. If a person liked this chambering, this wouldn’t be a bad purchase at mid 1000...

The pictures and history make this one. Good luck!

Back to the fun stuff! This Ruger is under-market (at the moment). I’ve always liked these. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1032922829

Agreed. I’d avoid the push feed altogether.

This was my first safari gun as well! I found it to be perfect for about anything eland on down. What are you planning on hunting? If buffalo or bigger animals are on your list you might also consider a two gun combo like 30-06 and 458. The 06 with 220gr RN corelokt wallops plains game 600lbs...

Thanks Tex! Cool to see that AV has one. Really glad that I found this forum. Everyone has been really friendly. @Accidental Villain does yours have a thumb cut? I can’t tell from the photos in the other post.

Found it. Thanks!

I ended up winning this auction and I found this post/forum in my effort to validate its authenticity. You answered my concern about the chackering, but the thumb cut and upside down proof marks are giving me some hesitation as other brevex actioned rifles I've seen aren't like this. Did some of...

Hey everyone! I'm new to the forum. I came across this thread researching a gun I just bought. The letter describes it as a brevex, but there are some inconsistencies (Thumb cut, upside down proofs, different style of checkering, etc) that are giving me hesitation. It seems like even the factory...
