'Feel as if I'm seeing double. Unbelievable that I picked up the very same just a week ago (also advertised on here!) Please let me know if for whatever reason the gun isn't moving, I'd buy some of the ammo and the dies. That is a GOOD deal because retail, I believe you're looking at $3,300.00 worth of ammo alone here!!! It's as if the gun is $2,000.00 considering the dies value. Someone could buy it and get 1/2 back by selling some of the ammo.! (I'm good-My safe talks to me. It says there's no room for another 470 C!) Nice. Good luck! 'Now recalling that I had an old Kimber gunsmith re-blue two old guns years back ($300). Cheap and good as new now.
 
(I just checked mine and noticed yours has a low-profile soldered-on under barrel sling mount (whereas mine is a clamp-on ring), your bolt is more finely jeweled/polished, yours features the 3 folding ramp rear sight (mine only has 1) and mine additionally has the fancy Big 5 Africa/Rhino/Safari Classic bottom metal work. It was up to the the Orderer's personal taste through the Win Custom Shop, so there are some neat upgrades on yours!

I only paid 100 for the box of ammo. The rifle is worth around 5k in my openion. Still a very good deal. @NTO is a great guy to deal with.

Seller of mine advised that custom loaded ammo (his from Superior) was $300/box nowadays and of course you can no longer get new A-Square factory stuff.

Probably so. I got few original boxes for collection. Then one of the members here on AH got me properly head stamped brass. Then found some on GB, Then found some more. Ended up with over 1000 pieces. Then found some 1.5k pieces of Barnes Tsx 500gr bullets along with 500 Banded flat nose solids and 1k pieces of SWIFT AFRAME BULLETS.
I AM ALL SET.

Thanks everyone for the comments yes there is a lot of ammo here that’s worth as much as the gun.
This is a custom shop gun so there is some changes from the Big 5 rifles when all 125 of them where the same.

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
