Check this out. If I had an extra 30 Grand lying around I would be all over it. After checking it out for authenticity of course. Pretty cool.

If anyone buys it I would request that should you ever sell it please give me first right of refusal. I think that is a reasonable finders fee.

Nice rig, but the one I would really like is Bells 7x57. However Gail Selby has that one I believe, and deservedly so!

There are reports and writings about him using this rifle on red stag. He liked to use the high velocity bullet to shoot them in the neck because it would fragment and take them down on the spot.

This rifle has been for sale for more than a year now. Looks like the Bell fans don't want to pay that much for a small bore Wink.

I keep hoping for a winning lottery ticket so I can buy it Big Grin.

The only historical rifle I want is the 450/400 3 inch that has this inscription "To Mark, from your uncle Bob" on it. the rifle is refered to in Craig Boddington's "Safari Rifles" p. 83.

I have this feeling that Mark Selby isn't going to part with it anytime soon!
