Beautiful gun!  Like the set trigger.  Had one converted to 220 Swift with set trigger.  Got it at gun show for $300.  Tried 3 different scopes and it still shot 10-inch groups(throat burned out I imagine).  Got frustrated and sold it.  Always regret not keeping triggers.

Ive been trying to talk a gentleman out of a octagonal .423 Mauser for awhile that was a Rhodesian Game Warden gun to no avail. When i saw this one, I snagged it up last minute.

Beautiful gun.  Can’t let one that nice get by.

That looks to be of high quality. Any idea who did the work?

Absolutely beautiful engraving!  That was someone's baby.
