I was spying on gunbroker and found this model 70 super grade in .458 win and I was doomed to get another rifle I don’t need. It is a 50th anniversary Cabela’s rifle and 1 of 500(not that it matters much). It looks to be unfired. I’m not sure if I’ll take it to Zim next year or not but I’m sure exited to get it to the range . The wood on this thing blows me away. The last picture is with my 375 for comparison.

Nice

Well done
 
Darn lovely wood on that M70!
 
Beautiful wood on your rifle! I'll bet it shoots just as good as it looks!
 
Good one. Nothing wrong with the .458 Winchester Magnum, if you use Federal 500Gr Trophy Bonded Bear Claws (for most game) and 450Gr Cutting Edge flat nosed brass solids (for elephant). For lion and leopard, the 500Gr Nosler Partition is excellent too.
 
Very nice rifle. Which model S&B scope is that and how do you like it?
It’s the 3-12 x 42 klassik mil/mil. The illumination is one of the best outlines I’ve seen for the cost.

Sir, I think I have been writing to you about the purchase of the HK 639 rifle under an email "Tt Jake." If this is you, then I am truly interested. I am just trying to verify identify. Tt Jake is asking for a cash transaction. No disrespect intended, Just trying to verify who I am talking to. Thank you. Respectfully. Dan

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts
Remember I will be at the ISE show in Denver Colorado for 8-12 January, and after the show I will be available for meetings anywhere in the USA I will traveling around to meet with old and new clients, let me know and we will set up a meeting!
Beautiful Aardwolf for our Spanish client and good friend Alberto
