For the record, not mine. Just saw it yesterday - still there this morning. Tempting, but already have a 500 as noted earlier in this thread.

The auction has a minimum bid of $7000, plus a Reserve.
Reserve auctions are IMO held by dealers who want to screw the bidders.
Reserves are like a slot machine that bidders will get hooked on, Just one more bid...
Just post a starting bid at whatever the bottom selling price will be.

To the OG, did you ever find one? A neighbor of mine has offered me one for sale.

Why did you not buy it.

 

[NLVMike]

Why did you not buy it.

He offered it last night. I'm thinking about it. More rifle than I need or want, but it is intriguing. I was googling it and came across this thread.

You did not say what caliber, price or no pictures.

Being a new member , it will be nice if you introduce your self.

Of course. I'm Mike. I live in Rural Arizona. I hunt just about everything, but have not been to Africa yet. Came close a couple of years ago. I bought the hunt, chartered the plane, and Covid hit. Had to cancel, but will make it yet. I may be a bit undergunned, as a 300 winmag is my big caliber. That is why my neighbor brought this one to me after a hunting conversation.

It is a 495 A-square. It is built on a 1917 action, with a beautiful wood stock. Peep sight at the rear, with three flip up rear sights on the barrel for 100, 200, and 300 yards. He has about 30 rounds of loaded ammo, and 100 monolithic brass 600 gr bullets with it. I didn't take any pictures, but I could. He offered it for $2k. I don't have any idea of the value, so google brought me here.

You should buy it for that price. Post some pictures. You will like it.

Grab it up for $2k. If you don't like it, can sell it easily and buy something else.

 

[JPmbogo]

Yes, then you can sell it to me! I have a 500; but in some ways the .495 is a better choice.

Have a bunch of GS customs .510 to use in a 495 or 500. A 495A2 would be very nice
