Went to the Tulsa gun show today, I was just planning to window shop, maybe find parts for a couple of projects, but I ended up with a pre-64 Win mod 70 action and stock. Now what to make from it. I'm thinking 458 Win Mag. Somewhere I have a 458 blank, so 458 caliber is a no-brainer, but maybe a Lott, but that would require more work being done to it, and different bottom metal.
 
.458 Win Mag would be a great choice.
 
Lol, my wife hates it when stuff follows me home from the gun show!
 
458 Lott would be my first choice but the 458 WM isnt a bad choice.

It must've been pre-64 Saturday

If it didn't have a magnum bolt face I would do a lovely light weight 257 Roberts.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
