"Grats on the sale..................about half price too...................FWB
 
Absolutely gorgeous, first class rifles there. Well done!
 
Dogcat, you're lucky I was traveling and didn't see this until it was too late. Congrats on the purchase.
 
Rarely do I beat you to a great rifle. I feel very fortunate!
 
Wow that is a great set of rifles. Very nice.
 
I've been inactive for a little while but here is the shotgun that I didn't list that goes with the set. I represented Winchester Classic Doubles and Parker Reproductions until the Olin-Kodensha plant in Japan went under (they sold the real estate to build a multilevel golf driving range!). Miroku is the premier gunmaker that made guns for Charles Daly, Browning and Winchester. I was in talks to represent them here and this is a gun they sent me, of course with select wood! I paid them and kept it, and later sent it to Briley and had it fitted with their chokes ($557 today for the set). It comes with 2 CYL, 2 IMP CYL, and 1 MOD, wrench and case. It sat with me in leopard blinds twice with the CYL chokes and #4 buck. I will sell it for $1900.

Beautiful gun and a great buy for anyone. Thats nicer than most Citori’s at a very good price.
 
A fantastic trio
 
I need to give an update on this and these fine rifles.
I did buy them from CrippledEagle. They are as nice as they look. They shoot extremely well also. In addition to these I bought a Sako Riihimaki L46 in .222 Rem with the same Leupold M8-6x compact scope. This Sako was built as a twin to a rifle Jack O'connor had built by Al Beisen. It is mint and very accurate.

A significant change of life event has occurred and I did not make the trip to Africa. I also need to sell these rifles.

The Model 52 is sold but the others remain as CrippleEagle sold them to me.

I have consigned these to Matt Roberts, MNR Custom Gunmaker, www.mnrcustom.com, at 802-384-0599, to sell on my behalf. They are priced at what I paid or below. Matt has examined these rifles and can answer questions I cannot. However, everything CrippleEagle said when he sold them to me has been 100% true.

I have instructed to accept any reason offer with special consideration for selling as a group. The prices are shown on Matt's website.

In summary, there are three custom rifles - Win M70 in .375 HH and in .270 Win, and an custom Sako in .222 Rem, with scopes and some paperwork on them.

I regret having to do this but life takes turns.

Thanks.
 
Ugh, that was a cool set. Sorry to hear you have to let it go. Love the 52B that sold. I don't see the Sako .222 listed there?
 
The Sako is listed on Matt Roberts website. You can see it in his Gun Vault.
