My new Big Bore!

Congrats on the beautiful new addition!
 
What a beautiful rifle!! Good for you!!
 
Beautiful piece! Congratulations on a great buy, the big bores are getting harder to find every day especially that nice.
 
Great find. NEnjoy
 
I was watching that auction and almost bid but have a couple other guns I’m chasing/hunting for, for my Winchester collection
So you know how well it was bought, let’s keep that between us lol And thanks for not driving it up!
I kinda thought someone here on the forum would be bidding against me. I owe you a beer!!!

I was kicking myself for not bidding since it went way under value. It was very tempting not to bid with 10-15 minutes left.
 
Fantastic rifle! Congrats!
 
She a beauty. But then again, which New Haven made control round feed Winchester Model 70 isn't ?

I just wish that yours had a 24" barrel. With a 22" barrel, it becomes a little challenging to achieve above 2050-2060 FPS out of a .458 Winchester Magnum (esp. with the Model 70's relatively long throat).

With a long throat, could it not be loaded long to increase available case capacity, essentially making it functionally a 458 Lott? Or is the magazine too short to allow that?
 
Beautiful rifle! And yes, I swore off gun buying at least a half dozen guns ago.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
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!
