.458 Lott

[BoggedinBallistics]

Hello all, new to forum, but what a great place so far. Posted yesterday but might have messed up and got banned and the post removed. That said, looking to see if anyone has any leads on a .458 Lott? Lost out on a few opportunities on a Win 70 and CZ-USA but hopeful someone here might know the way. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Questioning is fine, it’s a good question considering the caliber. I’d love to be legit and tell you that I have a Cape buffalo hunt planned but alas, my dreams outweigh my reality. Truly, I just like to collect firearms that I like; researched a lot from the 450s, from threads on here actually, and got a better idea of the versatility of typical rifle setups in .458 Lott with also being able to accommodate 458 win mag; and getting deep into ballistics, SD, etc, the Lott does seem to reign pretty supreme for the big bores, that said, I’m still learning. I have a Win 70 in 375 H&H and it is an absolute dream, but in hopes of expanding the collection thought alright, let’s make the 458 Lott the next one.

I have a DGR by American Hunting Rifles in .458 Lott that I have been holding for a buddy for a couple years, but he subsequently picked up a .500, .505 etc. I have largely moved to the .450 Rigby. Where are you located? I hate shipping rifles.

My goodness that is a beautiful rifle, the grain pattern on that furniture is incredible. I’ve only ever had one opportunity to shoot in the 500s and that was the 505 Gibbs; the most unpleasant(recoil), yet ironically fun shooting experience. I’m in West TN, and yes I understand except the opposite because I’ve only ever been able to ship in what I want.

The stock is spectacular. I have owned many AHR rifles, and this is the nicest by far. Not even close. I was in Nashville last week, but won’t be back for a long time. . As stated, gunbroker or GI are likely your best bet. Good luck!

It is a spectacular rifle for sure, don’t think I’ve seen a stock as detailed. Well figured that would be the case, but certainly appreciate the consideration. If you ever reconsider wanting to ship it out, would happily talk further about a sale. Thank you, best to you.
