Just picked up this Kimber 458 Lott today. Beautiful wood on this one! Unfired, with only a few safe marks on the stock. Weight is dead on 8lbs 8oz with no scope installed. Shallow V rear three leaf sights and white adjustable front sight, come to point perfectly. Red Decelerator recoil pad of proper proportions. Drilled and tapped for 8-40 scope mount screws.

I loaded up a few rounds of Cutting Edge 450gr solids this evening to check for feed and function, which are perfect. Can't wait to shoot it tomorrow!

Are you getting pictures ready for the for sale ad?

Beautiful rifle, I am curious to read your report. I'm comfortable with a 416REM also shot a 470NE which I did not feel was much more. I hear the 458Lott earns the last part of her name. A lott of recoil. Knowing how found you are of your 416 model 70. It will be nice to know your comparison thoughts.
 
That is almost nice enough to be a Winchester!!!!!!! I like.......

where are you located? I would be happy to help you with you doing the reloading but I will only load for a very few real close friends as posted before liability is the problem. but will help you.

A two minute video I made of our recent Safari. I think it turned out well

Just received your book. It will be a Christmas present from my wife. Looking forward to read it.
