What a gorgeous rifle, these things are a rarity

Considering it’s CRF you could chamber a round, remove the bolt with the round still attached, add another to the magazine and reinsert the bolt while holding the cartridges in the magazine down. Lovely rifle in the perfect caliber.

Fantastic deal for a workhorse of a rifle, this will surely be my first safari rifle one day but, alas, that is not today!

The Cabela’s run of these rifles (250 rifles) were designated as featherweight super grade, while the SHOT shot run (150 rifles) was designated as lightweight super grade. I made a post a few years ago looking for one of these and think I described it in pretty good detail.

Parroting other’s comments, I think the decrease in the collector generation aka Boomers and the lack of interest by people younger than 60 in anything not made of aluminum and plastic will be the biggest factors in this coming change for the fine firearm market. I will say that there are very...

Would offer if I was in a position to. FYI these BRNO 602 actions are absolutely legendary and highly sought after

Man that is some gorgeous wood, if that was in 416 Rigby or 375 H&H I would love to make it my first big game rifle

So you don’t think the insulated are necessary for hiking around in snow or streams? Thanks for the input

First time hearing of them, but they look like space boots so I am totally looking into them.

Thank you kind sir, I will take a look at your go-to’s

All advice is very welcome, thanks.

This would mostly be walking around town and hiking trails when the weather is nice, he probably won’t be wading through 4 feet of snow on a 10 mile trail or anything like that. I would say most of the snow exposure would come from a street setting or getting from place to place in ski season.
