Brevex #22 joins the Collection - Fred Wells in 510 Wells cal.

This is my third Brevex rifle made by Fred Wells. What is most interesting about this one is that it has the Weatherby Logo and also a Weatherby serial number. With this one being in 510 Wells caliber, it is now my biggest caliber Brevex Mauser. It takes the spot formerly held by my 505 Gibbs Brevex.
The write-up at the bottom of the pictures tells the story about this rifle's build.

Here are the specs:

Brevex Magnum Magnum Action in 510 Wells caliber
Serial No. 122 (Weatherby serial No. 3928)
Birdseye Maple Custom Rifle stock by Orland Wheeler
Blood Red Decelerator Butt Pad
26-1/4" Octagon Barrel w full mat rib and integral muzzle brake
Barrel has forward recoil block and sling swivel
1 Standing - 3 Folding Rear Site - Ramp Partridge Front Site
Timmy Trigger
Bore: Mint
LOP: 14-5/8"
Weight: 12 pounds 13 ounces (13 pounds 2 ounces loaded)
Scope: Lyman All Weather / Post-Crosshair

That’s one heck of a barrel, lots of machine work went into this rifle. Nice find.
