These aren't listed for sale currently but these could all be trading material for the right double rifle. All 3 are custom built by McWhorter Rifles and all have proven 1/4 MOA accuracy out to beyond 600 yards in multiple shooter's hands. Two of them have been tested into less than 5" at 1000 yards with hunting loads. I have lots of reloading components and load data that goes with the rifles as well as these premium Swaro illuminated reticle scopes. We have a 7mm STW that has taken 1/2 dozen big game with one shot each out to over 700 yards. Close shots are easy! We have a 6.5 PRC that has taken 8 big game animals with one shot each, dropping straight down at the shot. Then we have the big boy...the 45 XML, which shoots custom muzzleloader bullets of 325 grains into 1/4 MOA at long distance (we've tested it out to 600 yards). I have 2 loads for it...one is the 325's at 2750 fps and one is the 325's at 3100 fps. Yes, that's correct. This load has taken several Cape buffalo on film.

Lots of accessories, reloading components and top end optics are available as trading material. Optics are dialed in with ballistic turrets and verified at distance. What am I looking for? A good quality 450/400 Nitro or 470 Nitro double with brass and bullets as a package. My builds are of very high quality with the best parts and built by master craftsman. They are in excellent condition with no issues, concerns or damage of any kind. All of it is less than 2 seasons old and all have round counts of 50 or less. Full details are available to serious interested parties.

prices on these?
 
That's quite a stable there. The 6.5 and the XML are at the top for me. How do you like the proprietary stock on the XML? Which one is lichen?
 
The Zenith stock (McMillan proprietary model for McWhorter) on the 45XML is the best at handling heavy recoil that I have found. It really distributes the recoil well.

There are variations of the Lichen pattern but this is one of them...mine is the 6.5 PRC that has green/tan desert colors in my photos above.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
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?
