I dont know Mr.Burgess prices,but lets highly assume some starting whistle ballpark math for this kind of metal work;

$600+...pre64 action.
$600+...Bottom metal.
$200+...Bolt handle.
$400+...shape tang,grind&tune receiver.
$600+... .375 barrel.
$350+...Toms sights.
$400+...Bases
$400+...Toms rings.
$200+..custom Swivel bases
$400+...metal prep&blue.
$4100+
...good chance it has been re-heat treated also(+$??)

Really like that flip up peep.

Woodjack,
You need to relabel that first one as "Burgess M70 .375 H&H IMPROVED" ... definitely my kind of rifle.

Except for the MPI stock.

Perfect iron sights, I have never seen better.
Thanks for posting that.

Looks to be just about a perfect execution of a practical working rifle.

Thanks for the link, Woodjack.

Those rifles seem like real bargains.

If I were not waiting on a new rifle I would snap up that M70.

Very nice rifles (I lust after that M70) and nicely priced. If only I had $3600 laying around

Thanks for posting the link Woodjack!

The M-70 has been sold - not sure about the other one.

Thank goodness. I was getting weak. And don't have it to spare, either.

How about the Enfield?

The M70 was a steal but I think the Enfield is too.

Better action, I think. Longer barrel and LOP, straight bolt handle. Plus Mr. T's rings come with it.

I doubt there are many chances to buy such a rifle for $4750.

Won't somebody please buy that rifle?

Friends-

Beautiful rifles, indeed!!!!!

I certainly wish I had an extra $4,570 laying around.

For an a person with an Enfield fetish, such as myself, I can look at that rifle in amazement.

Tom is the father of metal work, none better IMO....

It's a shame they are stocked in plastic, a substance that has no place in the world of hunting!

Here come de screams!, here come de screams!

Yes but for the price, those stocks make great turning patterns!
