Well guys it's here. I have to say it is everything I expected and more. I can't wait to get the front bead on a Cape Buffalo in August. I will try and post pics soon.
 
Congrats!!!

PICS!!!!! :)
 
It is great to see a new toy in the house.

Have you taken it to the range and fired a few test shots.

i would be interested in seeing a few picture of your new baby and a few shot targets to see how you performed.
 
Congratulations!

Not yet, am still waiting for the paperwork to come through from the local law. I am starting to panic as all the paperwork for the Cape Buffalo trip is needed very shortly and that was why I bought this rifle. I am now wondering if my Merkel 9.3x74 is going to be gun enough if I have to take it.
 
Just a quick pic of the new addition before it went off for licencing

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
