Incredibly interesting
 
Well, that’s something you don’t see everyday. What caliber?
 
500/450 #1. MINT bore.

With one swoop of the side lever the breech block is unlocked, raised and the hammer is cocked and the case extracted and ejected.

Sopers are very rare especially in the "Sporting" configuration. Less than 700 of all variations were produced. Most were military rifle configuration and very few were sporters.

Hi Jon,
I saw your post for the .500 NE cases. Are these all brass or are they nickel plated? Hard for me to tell... sorry.
Thanks,
