Of course. I'm Mike. I live in Rural Arizona. I hunt just about everything, but have not been to Africa yet. Came close a couple of years ago. I bought the hunt, chartered the plane, and Covid hit. Had to cancel, but will make it yet. I may be a bit undergunned, as a 300 winmag is my big caliber. That is why my neighbor brought this one to me after a hunting conversation.

It is a 495 A-square. It is built on a 1917 action, with a beautiful wood stock. Peep sight at the rear, with three flip up rear sights on the barrel for 100, 200, and 300 yards. He has about 30 rounds of loaded ammo, and 100 monolithic brass 600 gr bullets with it. I didn't take any pictures, but I could. He offered it for $2k. I don't have any idea of the value, so google brought me here.

Grab it up for $2k. If you don't like it, can sell it easily and buy something else.

Haaaaa. Have seen. Lot of .460 Weatherby’s for sale over the years with two rounds missing from a box of ammo.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .

ok $120 plus shipping

I have quite a bit of 458 win mag brass, most of it new. How much are you looking for?
