458 B&M On GB

[John J]

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 cartridge.

Interesting mfr & builds .. I was reading the threads dedicated to B&M

 

[draakken]

Did you end up with it?

I did win the auction. Found this thread 30 min before auction close... talk about lucky timing.

Nice

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.

Curious how high you were willing to go. My highest was the 2700 bid.

can't give up all my secrets.

I have a 585 in the pipeline - NFS at present, but feel free to contact me via pm

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.

 

[CoElkHunter]

I'll take it.
