I finally got around to buying a big bore shooter today. Description is below, I'm going to try to work up some light 350 gr. loads and take it out in December on a hunt.

458 Winchester Magnum
Charles Daly (formerly Mark X)commercial action Standard adjustable trigger and slide safety
25 inch Douglas XX premium 5A contour barrel with an extra recoil lug
Dakota standing leaf express rear sight
ramp front sight with ivory bead
barrel band sling swivel
Warne Maxima bases and detachable rings
The stock is a Boyds JRS Classic laminated,glass bedded at both recoil lugs and the steel recoil pins, with a Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad.

It's only been test fired so I'll see how it shoots after it gets here. The only thing I didn't really like about it is the unfinished look the steel recoil pins have. I'll have to get someone to fix that up after hunting season. I'll get some pics up after it arrives.

Jeff,
good luck. I sent you an email on this one!!!

Nice purchase. We need to get the Houstonians together again to shoot some of this new stuff. bob
