Interesting, I've never actually seen a rifle chambered for 400H&H or commercial ammo for it. That's one of H&H's newer inventions right?
 
.375 zkk brno for long shots upto 200m
.458 Lott Heym martini ( my new gun crush) for general hunting of all big game
.505 on a long action like GMA or Heym ultra / genuine Mauser magnum for big elephants when things get naughty!

Yes, I see it as a bolt action, slightly souped-up, 450/400
 
.375 H&H bolt gun with 2-10 x scope
.458 Lott bolt gun with low power 1-6x variable scope. A .450 Rigby would have been much more stylish but much less magazine capacity for little gain.
.500 Nitro in a double with small neat red dot ( aging eyes :cry:… would have loved to say express sights)
 
.375 (H&H, Wby, Ruger): Street legal for DG everywhere
.458 Lott: Readily available and getting into stopping rifle class.
These two are all you need but….
.450/.400: If adding a double

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.

Dave, I could use both of them if still available. I just picked up a new .22 mag and a .22 pump that they would be perfect on.
