Hey guys! Sorry I haven't been around much. Just real busy moving to Arizona Dave's area, new shop, wife in and out (healthy) of the hospital. Just been really busy. I've got a #1 Tropical 458 with a Vortex Crossfire 1.5 x 4 x 32 scope. Rifle has a few nicks and light use, but in excellent overall condition. $995.00 and you pay the shipping.

That is a very nice rifle sir. Anyone going on a first safari this would be an excellent big game rifle. It's capable of taking plains game and the big five!
Not a bad price either folks. Hope you get some bites Ornery!
 
Thanks CA
 
Bump
 
Bump for a great rifle!
 
Would you trade it for a all inclusive Texas hog hunt?
 
Actually if you could come in the fall Id do a guided 1x1 unlimited hog hunt and include 1 whitetail doe, or rio turkey of your choosing, lodging, meals, and some bass fishing two days three nights.
 
This is a rifle that needs to be used in Africa Gizmo....you should sweeten the deal!

That's a 1700$ value on a (doe) deer/hog 2 day 3 night hunt.
 
When you coming to Africa again? I could be tempted, shhh don't tell my wife :)
Just need to check one or two things but definatly on the list to have
 
I asked the owner if he wanted to trade for the hunt, (it's his personal rifle) and he said he just needs the cash for another project...sorry. The rifle is now without the scope, sold that. He says he will take $900 plus shipping for it. I will take all offers to him....cheers mates!

Well thanks for askin for me, I appreciate it.
 
Bump...still looking for an offer :>
 
Still available ...
 
Ornery I am showing this to a neighbor in Overland Park Kansas who says he wants one. Is it available without the scope?
 
I posted above that the scope is all ready sold. The rifle is a good deal at that price. Cheers!
 
Still available
 
Can you post a pic showing it without the scope? and close ups of the sites, especially the front one?

Charles, have you shot yours yet?
 
Can post one for you on Monday
 
Royal I have not taken the 458 to the range yet. Will do that next weekend.

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.
