Took a look at the photos. Whom ever built it did not even put a magnum length extractor in the action. Checkering looks like someone's $100 first attempt. $5000????

I made my reason clear on the last post about this rifle. The grain layout is terrible. That alone tells me whoever bult this rifle knew not what they were doing. it says BE AFRAID BE VERY AFRAID and STAY AWAY.

I forgot to say that if this is the rifle I saw in Vegas it was built on the .590 rebated rim version of the NYATI. I have seen two of those so far and the only one that would feed properly was built with a schuler type magazine. I looked at the rail work and concluded that this gun would probably feed badly if at all and I still don't feel that a M-98 action can withstand the NYATI for long . I've also learned enough about this cartridge now to not be so enamored anymore.-Rob
