Assuming they’ve not regulated it yet and as such haven’t confirmed what Grain bullet she’ll be using and as such will engrave that on after ?? Having said that are there that many bullet weights to choose for a 470?

A thing of beauty!! well done indeed. Is she off to be Colour Case Hardened at St Legers?

I got my Lancaster .375 London best in about 16 months which I thought was incredibly quick! My 470 from them will be around 3 years.. so yes it’s definitely possible for some of the top makers to perform to a set timescale.

Nice work The Territory really is a sportsman’s paradise I was up there in late October this year and was amazed at how much more humid it was then my usual September visit

I've hunted both 2 X water buff, 1 x banteng. I'm back again in October this year chasing both again, and also a scrub bull. I suspect the 'interesting' qualities depends upon where you are hunting. Water buff on the flood plains do tend to stand their ground and get inquisitive. Banteng for...

Have a chat to Erwin at Krieghoff UK. Great guy, font of knowledge on them.
