Mine has a piece of Turkish walnut in classic English style. The only things about the rifle that are not classic English are the stainless steel action and barrel, the muzzle brake, the good quality recoil pad, the scope and the lack of iron sights.

Todd E, A very good norwegian gunsmith named Ragnar Hansen Buildt my rifle. He also made the stock. I don't know how helpful this was since he is in Norway. He also have a website. www.magnumhansen.com

I don't mean to question your integrity but are you serious? There's probably not 5 guys on the whole planet that can handle that kind of power. None of them can do it forever. Seyfried himself can't...or should I say won't.

Can I ask you one question. How much money did you paid for this rifle in .585 made by your gunsmith? In $ or in euros please. In order to compare with purchase price for a A-square (.577 T-REX) rifle about 4500 $. It will be my ultimate rifle.Thanks.RGDS

yukon delta, yes I am very serious! It would be wrong of me to say I can handle such loads. It was just for fun. I have fired the gun twice with those loads. I wont do it again. I can handle loads in the 2200 fps range fairly well after much training. But thats it.
BER007, The cost came to around 3500 us. dollar in 98 when I bought it.
One of these days I will get the scanner hooked back up and show off that $100 piece of Turkish you sold me (now on the 585).
The stock was made by Franz Bryner of Ogden, Utah. He charged $300. I provided the blank, the recoil pad and the mercury recoil reducers. He threw in the grip cap and sling stud.
