Just a heads-up for someone interested. I have no dog in this race. John

Really cool.

Any 585's owners, wanting to part?
 
Interesting mfr & builds .. I was reading the threads dedicated to B&M
 
I had picked up a model-70 to build on, but SSK is out of the B&M building business as far as I can tell, and Wes at AI gunstocks is very backlogged. I'll probably hold on to the M70 I have and if I can get a slot in Wes's build list have another B&M built. This one should cover the big end of the spectrum, perhaps a 9.3 B&M would be a nice medium bore to have next to it.
 
I built the 458 B&M Super Short over this last winter. Haven't gotten to play with it much, but I'm excited to. 20231214_122717.jpg
 
I did win the auction. Found this thread 30 min before auction close... talk about lucky timing.
Glad you found it! Also glad I wasn't bidding against you. Few days before I found this I picked up a M70 super grade 458 win. Now I can see what all the hulla-baloo may or may not be with this cartridge. I have an AHR 458 Lott to compare the 2 cartridges. Beating a dead horse but I have to satisfy curiosity [emoji38]
 
I’m just glad it wasn’t blue with nice wood or I would’ve been bidding also.
 
I'll take it.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx
