FAUL manufactured Centaure Model 60 Express Rifle .470 NE for sale

[Longrifle]

Rifle is an excellent example of ‘old school’ craft. Handmade in Liege Belgium in 1956 by Fabrique d’armies Unies de Liege and marketed as the Centaure Model 60 Express rifle. Rifle is well on face and ready to hunt. Built on a chopper lump Anson & Deeley action, extremely strong and perfectly timed Holland &Holland type automatic ejectors, treble Purdey type bolt with two under lugs and hidden third bite, Purdey frame. Carries 26” barrels with original finish. Chambers and bores are perfect. Stock is original very good walnut, strong unworn checkering in a diamond point pattern. Neutral cast, good for right and left hand shooters. Engraved in the English style with excellent marbled and bold color case hardened colors, one standing express rear sight on quarter rib with bladed brass bead front RMR mount and 11oz mercury recoil reducer installed by JJ Perodeau. RMR SIGHT NOT INCLUDED. This rifle is likely the only one of its kind in the USA, as it was only available in the European market. Regulates very well with factory Hornady ammunition. Will also sell reloading dies, 50-Swift A-Frame bullets and brass if desired by buyer. I have hunted with this rifle and taken buffalo and eland. Eland was shot at 150 meters from sticks with this rifle.
Wil provide additional photos if interested.



Rifle in action with close ups.

150 m shot on eland bull.

I am only parting with this rifle because I was able to acquire a Rigby. This rifle needs to be in the field.
