2. Original maker of the rifle, from the factory, (Oberndorf, DWM, Erfurt, Brno) etc.
3. Gunsmith(s) that performed the work: barreling, porting, safety, trigger, bottom metal, etc. include ALL details.
4. Barrel Length, LOP, Recoil Pad make, Trigger, Safety, etc. All information is valuable, and will help you get best dollar, and ensure a buyer gets a great rifle.
5. Stock: It has very nice figure: list the stock maker, checkering LPI, type of finish. Is it glassed bedded, wrist reinforced, internal cross-bolted?
6. Any preferred cartridge loads, factory or handloads. (Important). Provide as much information as you can.

To add to Cajun’s list, what is barrel length to the point of the first hole (if someone wanted to cut and re-crown)?

thank you all for the feedback. Herewith more details on the rifle and myself.
- rifle was bought at an auction and i've fired minimal rounds
- length of pull is just over 14"
- from markings the trigger is a Timney
- Barrel length is 25"
- the porting runs a length of 3"
- Unsure of the action but it looks to be FN
- the wooden stock has been beautifully inletted to allow for the peep sights
- i've borescoped the barrel and everything looks excellent (not surprising considering cost of 458 ammunition and recoil)

I don't have a huge internet presence but you can find submissions on brianenos.com (pistol shooting), longrangeshooting.com and M1A forums under the handle of 2scoops. After a recent safari trip with my Krieghoff 450/400 and seeing the performance on large game, i've come to the realization that the 450/400 has everything i need (and it's a double ) with much less recoil. Previous dealings on AH include the purchase of a 9.3x62 from AZDAVE

Houston based if anyone locally would like to view the rifle

Excellent details. A Krieghoff double is a great rifle, this brand the first double I got to shoot and led me down that road. 450/400 is a favorite round, understand why you are selling the.458.
It is a nice rifle and the wood is very nice.
Good luck with the sale.
