Think "home made Coil-Check stock" -- does make A-Square's version look sleek. ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||

This may be a technicality, but shouldn't a stock be "finished" (looks like this one never was!) before it can be "re-finished"? Also, why the you know what, do you need a muzzle brake on a 20lb 458?  | |||

What the sh.....! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

I guess it looks marginally better than this... https://forums.accuratereloading.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/3221043/m/535108064 If I had to choose, I would pick the 458 over the gold plated number. | |||

I don't know, the gold rifle looks to be put together with hunting in mind, it just needs some spray paint to fix it up a little. That other thing is an answer in search of a question. | |||

That is the best thing you can do to a rifle. Pay a couple thousand for work done to a rifle, then spraypaint over it! I guess if you really liked the rifle, the engraving might not fill up too much with paint. Honestly, I would not even take it to the range, it would be a safe queen. | |||

Charles, since I first let my curiosity get the better of me, and actually took a look at that monstrosity, I have emptied the medicine cabinet trying to keep my dinner down. An idle mind is truly the devil's plaything.  Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Truly ugly and at 20 pounds essentially useless IMHO... Might as well buy a .50 BMG if you're gonna mess with a 20 pound rifle. .22 LR Ruger M77/22 30-06 Ruger M77/MkII .375 H&H Ruger RSM | |||

This is a damn shame. Some people can't afford big bore rifles, like my self, and some of the people who can are really fu*king stupid and do sh*t like this to them. If anyone knows a person is gonna do something like this to a would-be great rifle tell him to give me the money so I can build a great rifle.

Since the "gold rifle" was mentioned, why not gold plate this 458, get it engraved and have Jeffe duplicate the stock in a nice blond, no figure, piece of maple and have the best of both worlds!  | |||

Back in the late 80's or early 90's there was a World Silhoette Championship or something like that held in Australia. I remember reading the placings in a local magazine and somewhere near the bottom was a (mad??) French competitor that used a 458WinMag with 510gr factory loads. Perhaps this is his rifle?? Honestly ... there has to be some benchrest type competition where "worst edge" scoring counts, this would be perfect.  Cheers... Con | |||

I intended to bid but I believe the stock is Claro. | |||

Didn't Russell Taylor carry something like this on his ill-fated hunt with the Judge? I recall that he used a rifle that seemed to be inappropriate for hunting. | |||
