Beautiful rifle, serious big game rifle

It tipped this very old, large tuskless over in her tracks with a chest shot. So yeah, it’s good elephant medicine. I racked a second round in and hit her again before she hit the ground. That’s how smooth the action is.

This is not a mass produced rifle that needs bugs worked out. It’s dialed in and ready for action now.

 

[LES7]

WOW!

The wood on that rifle is spectacular.

Someone is going to enjoy a fine rifle.

 

[matt85]

This is a great deal!

But sadly a bad year for me to buy more guns.

A write up from a publication

A very special rifle made by the ledgendary Gun smith Les Bauska:
Rifles of this quality and custom attention are hard to find and very expensive. This is not a stock Dakota in .375
but a unique rifle with beautiful dark Turkish Walnut Stock
Famous for his barrels Les Bauska built this gun upon his BBK-02 action. Known for its durability. one of the strongest Magnum actions ever built .

Bauska was very well known for his Barrels and his rifle accuracy.

Firearms like this are very rare, expensive and well worth it. It's in a league of its own like Rigby and Holalnad and Holland of England.
Bauska was a great American Gun maker

This is from a press release about the Actions:

Olympic Arms purchased the tooling to produce these actions from a Montana resident named Jack Bauska back in the late 1980's. The actions are large frame Mauser style actions for Safari size cartridges like the 375 H&H and larger. With a box magazine length of 3.85" and a collar size to match, these actions were some of the strongest bolt action receivers ever made (investment cast), and could handle anything up to and including the .505 Gibbs cartridge.
Last manufactured in 2002 with an upgraded 3 position Winchester style safety and Timney triggers, the ultramag actions, still often referred to as the Bauska, or BBK action by many, were highly sought after actions for custom rifle manufacturers around the world. Standing orders existed for the Gibbs Rifle Company as well as the smashingly famous Holland & Holland Rifle Company.

Wow what a great package. I don't need it but boy I'm sure trying to figure out a reason to buy it.

Really a very nice rifle. Hoping it gets sold before I can justify purchasing this beautiful rifle. Need to lookup the free recoil of this beauty.

 

[Altitude sickness]

I can send you a video of me shooting it. To show its very tame compared to many

Pm me with a phone number to text you the video.

A weight of 11.2 pounds is proper for this caliber rifle. Stout recoil no doubt, but not beyond most shooters with standard loads
