Didn't realize this thread was still ongoing. I posted my .458 Lott several months back so I guess it is time to post another or two.

My newest, a 9.3x64 Brenneke built by Reto Buehler and rocked by Gary Goudy.

My .416 Ruger with metalwork by several artisans ending up with Danny Pedersen reboring the barrel and re-chambering to the big Ruger round.

A Granite Mountain Arms rifle built for me and chambered for the 9.3x63.

My pre-64 Model 70 chambered for the 9.3x62 using as Danny Pedersen cut rifled barrel.

Andrew, when completed, it will be a 6-rifle set, in 7mm Mauser, 300 H&H, 338 Win Mag, 404 Jeffery, 458 Win Mag, and this 505 Gibbs.

Remove the .338 and the remainder are classics.

I always regretted selling my .458WM and loved shooting that calibre. It was designed to put big stuff down at 50 yards and did it very effectively.

What are you bringing to Zambia?

Andrew, I found an original pre-64 Winchester Model 70 Supergrade with a broken stock. That became the basis for the 458 WM build.

Biebs, how come you don't have a 375 H&H among your classics? A 318 WR (330 cal) would make a good replacement for the 338.

Naki, it was more a matter of what was offered up here on AR in the form of barreled actions, incomplete projects, or other opportunities. As they say...one man's trash becomes another man's treasure :-)
