It looks like an excellent rifle… also full price

the butt stock looks to have a lot of drop, i wonder if its the original factory stock?

I saw one in better condition sit on gunbroker for 2 weeks without anyone hitting the starting bid of $7,500.00

That is a great price historically but the last several months everything from Ferraris and Rolex to collector firearms and highend audiophile HiFi equipment is down because of the market…
That rifle typically sold for 10k to 12k in the recent past

Does "matching bolt" mean the bolt fits and is a 458 Win bolt and is a replacement or is it number-identical/original?

For a US based collector it's a horrible value after you factor in Shipping/Import Fees. Additionally, I'd want to get hands on, that stock doesn't look original, and from the description you know it's at least been altered.

I paid less than half that a few years ago for a Pre64 .458WM African that's in better condition. Here in the states there have been multiple in the last 12mo in that $7K range that have sat for long periods of time. I think I know where one is right now with a $6800 or $7K asking price.
