Finally found one of the Rarest A-SQUARE Hannibal Rifles

I am always searching for Vintage Original A-Square rifles. I finally found one of rarest calibers. Very few were made in 458 Win Mag caliber.

458 Win Mag is one of my favorite calibers. This A-SQUARE is the 8th 458 Win Mag caliber rifle in my collection.

Specs are:
458 Winchester Magnum caliber
Custom Enfield Action
22" Heavy Barrel
10 pounds 4-1/2 ounces
13-3/4" LOP
Lyman Rear Site
Brass Bead Ramp Front Site
1.5-4.5-18 Zeiss Diavari-C Scope w/ Leopold Rings & Mounts
Coil-Check Stock w/ Palm Swell
A-Square Leather Sling & Swivels

as always your comments are most welcome


 
I have personally shot the A square in .470 Capstick that was made for Peter. It is a hand full and one of if not the most brutal weapon I have ever fired. I would think the .458 would be a creampuff to shoot.
 
I have owned several A-Square rifles including 577 T-Rex cal. 416 Rigby, 470 Capstick, 425 Express, 416 Hoffman, 500 A-Square, and 338 A-Square Magnum. Only the 577 T-Rex was brutal. All the others with their Coil-Check stocks were much more manageable than those in the same caliber by other manufacturers with conventional stocks.

hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
