My New 450 Dakota

Thanks for sharing my excitement, even though she’s been “broken in” by Cody. :(

Wayne puts out some dandy rifles and I am glad to be renting this one for a spell.
 
Beautiful rifle. Some of the most gorgeous wood I believe I have ever seen!
 
Beautiful, but not too pretty to hunt with :)

I hunt with my CZ 550 in 500 Jeffery Wayne worked on (not an AHR rifle though and not as pretty as yours)

You haven’t seen Cody’s 470? Makes this rifle almost look plain! The other side is even better!

Great looking rifle Tim!
 
Thing of beauty. Too pretty to hunt with.

Definitely want to take it hunting.

My initial range trip is making me think this rifle could possibly find its way to Zim in August.

Hmmm....450/400 with a 300gr TSX at ~2,500 as a PG combo? Then the 450 Dakota for Buffalo!

I'm glad you're willing to admit this is a rental. That's the first step in a 12 step program.

Spoken like a man in search of his 3-month chip.

Beauty of a rifle you have there.
Love the wood.
 
What a beautiful rifle. Hate to drag that through a Barb wire fence.
 
Gorgeous rifle!
 
Nice rifle! Really like the wood, hope it shoots as good as it looks.

For the record - No rifle is to pretty to not take to the field! Stocks can be refinished, metal work can be brought back to new... But each new scratch or dent tells a story of time in the bush and every rifle deserves a chance to tell a story.
 
Congrats Tim, it’s stunningly beautiful!
 
You do know that you're going to MAKE me buy the 450 Rigby I've been eyeballing, right?
I'll be happy to take the blame.
You've seen nothing like the wrath that my Department of Finance dishes out.

I'm still breathing, but just barely sometimes.

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
