PRDATORWhat 460 was on dangerous game this week?
Guys I watched the show Dangerous Game on OLN this week. They were hunting buffs in Tanz but the guy shooting was useing a stainles winchester 70 in some sort of 460????
I know I have the gun right but can you make a 460 wby fit a model 70? or what otehr 460 is out there?
thanks

JMJ888There is an old thread about the PH's rifle here on AR. It was supposedly a 460 Weatherby on a Harris Talon rifle. Do a search of Dangerous Game and 460 and it pops up.

RCGIt looked to me to be a Brno 602 action with a model 70 safety installed or perhaps a BBK-2 action. It appeared to have square bridges from the brief shot of the rifle, IIRC.
Not familiar with Harris Talon rifles.

LJSIt's a Mc Millan Talon action rifle. Griffin & Howe has had one for sale on their site for a while in 460 Weatherby.

walksfarToo bad I missed it. I have "directtv" and had carried out a search on there with the remote, and auto-tuned for it to come on automatically without reading the description, and come to find out, when I sat down and started to watch, a movie came on starring Harvey Keitel, called "Dangerous Game".
What a bummer. So I missed it.

MAX416It looked like a Dakota action to me. I just got a quick look at the cartridge, it looked to be either on the 416 Rigby or 460 WBY case, I don't recall seeing a belt.

mufasaThe PH is Ernst Scholz of TGT. I hunted with Ernst with that rifle and it is indeed a Harris Talon action in 460Wthby.
