375 H&H Winchester Model 70 - can you help with Identifying the Model

[Odinsraven]

Hi Guys - need your help picked this up today @ Auction - it would seem to be the Limited edition ones which seem to fetch a good price - however any ideas - unfortunately I have only the one photo and will not see the rifle for six months while I complete import and export paperwork ! Sorry only the one photo of it !

So my question is - is this the big 5 model ? - What kind of value ?

Appreciate the help

It appears that you have a Custom Safari Express Big Five. They came in five calibers, each had a gold African animal on the floor plate. Even though I have never seen one up close, I have seen them for sale for usually $4000 to $5000. Hopefully that is what you have, since they didn't make many of them. I have also seen the set of all five going for around $23000. I would tell you to call me if you decide you don't want it, but I would have no idea how to import it in to the U.S. Good Luck!!!
