I dont see any talk on here about it, lots of them on GB, also an100 year anniversary model with 22" bbl and no sights.

I was surprised to see these just now.

They are generally quite nice rifles. I think the .270W exclusive model may be a bit of a turn off for the AH crowd. (not casting shade on 270, or 30-06, but they are very popular common calibers so they get less attention)

I'd point your attention to the latest Lipsey's exclusives for the Ruger #1 as well. The 22 hornet in a full mannlicher stock, the 257 weatherby, and the 275 Rigby light sporter are also pretty interesting configurations.

 
I already have a good shooting .270 in a Mauser. I just wondered what the AH crowd thought of it, being everyone is always hoping for something less pedestrian. The .280AI was an odd choice, but those that have them seem to like them and they are quite rare now.

The Whelen is probably the most popular, except for the .275 Rigby version. The No. 1 in the Rigby is very popular but hard to come by for any kind of price and rare.

I just yesterday, made an offer on a rare Whitworth in 7x57 and it was accepted so will have that on the way before too long.

Only one I have ever seen in that caliber, it was part of the rare American Field series of Whitworths, my brother had one in .30-06 many years ago, a fine rifle.

Out of all the different color variations of Impala the black Impala just stands out with its beautiful pitch black hide.

Impala is one of the animals you will see all over Africa.
You can see them in herds of a 100 plus together.

This excellent ram was taken with one of our previous client this past season.
