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.
 
Nice find and great addition to your collection.
 
Man I bet that is a pussycat to shoot.

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?
