v nice, is brass avialable for this caliber?

Yes. Aria and others even sell loaded ammo. However, it's easy enough to make (out of 458 Lott, Ackley, Watts, AE et. al.) as it's simply a full length 375 HH blown out to its max functional ID of 0.475."
 
Can you show us the factory stock for comparison? Mine also came w/ 2 crossbolts but is actually a very nice piece of wood (for a factory gun!) I'm familiar with the gold decor on 'em (Big 5, the Rhino, etc.) I'm interested in seeing just how much the wood varied from gun to gun...
 
Heck of a makeover on that rifle. Now just need a buff or ele to hunt.

Curious, did the rifle go from one cross bolt to two and later the two covered by ebony plugs?

This is a post when I picked it up that shows the rifle with the original stock

Thread 'One for Franz! The 470 Capstick!'

A couple days back my good friend and amateur troll @franzfmdavis :D questioned if I had a 470 Capstick in my collection… So I thought I’d share it with you all and to @franzfmdavis…
It’s #39 in the “Big Five” series. I originally didn’t think I would like the gold and silver inlay as it looks hoeky when see in pics but I have to say it looks really cool in hand!!!
So @franzfmdavis let me know when you want to toss some 600gr at 2250ftps out of a 9lb Winchester lol

Hi Dr. Ray, I will be in Cooktown from Oct 16 to Oct 23 fishing Lizard Island Black Marlin Tournament.

I have several "slack" days after fishing before I head for stay in Sydney and Fiji.

Do you have any recommendations for 1 or 2 day hunt near Cooktown?

I've hunted both DG and PG in 4 different countries in Africa.
Thank you,
Bob

Good morning. I see that you had a Sauer 202 for sale for $3,000. Did you sell it at that price?
I have one for sale as well. I listed it (on here ) at $3,000 as well. Is the price high, low or right where it should be?

Thanks. Alex. [redacted] in case you want to call me to discuss further. I appreciate your time help and support.
