Thanks for the replies everyone. The price will be about $2000 + freight from Melbourne to your nominated Gundealer .I must have a order of 4 to get them to keep this price otherwise it goes up to $2500 . Ammunition by Hornady is available and imported by Herrons in Sydney . I have a case of ammo and one on order. Ruger is now making the No 1 in .405Win and the agent is importing a few (shame Winchester Australia) So if interested 25% deposit balance payable when ready to go to your Gundealer. If there is a cancellation after I have paid the US supplier there is no refund unless you can get someone else to take your order. expect about 8 week wait. Please PM me for my email/phone number to order.Thanks

I am tempted but the 50 Alaskan rings my bell to...Con I wonder what cost these would be landed and who is your contact.

I will follow the .405 story as I am quite impulsive and likely to falter

I have 2 orders 2 to go or more

PC,
I'll check in the coming weeks as to the status of the WildWest 50 Alaskans. At this point all I know is one dealer is toying with the idea of importing a sole unit and then will import a few more if his customers place orders. When I know more I'll let you know, either way if it goes ahead it will be some time in the future.

Bakes,
Are you selling your child or your dog?

My son! I've got two of them and can make more if needed

No just kidding I wouldn't sell him....I'd give him away

This thread is going to cost me a fortune!

I just followed the link to the Winchester site to drool over the '95, again, and I also found the link to the 1885 .17HMR as well - Wow, what a pretty rifle. I am not sure if I can 'tolerate' such a tiny calibre in my gun safe but that rifle is just so pretty that I want one..... if only they were in a bigger calibre!

Bakes,I know what you mean. I've got a seven year old girl and on some days if the Gypsies came to my door I'd trade her for two chickens and a bottle of wine. Those are the days when a bad day at work is better than a good day at home. Sorry...more of the dreaded Drivel.

Davidsons in US ordered a special run of Winchester 1885 in .405Win plus some other big Buffalo calibres . I can inquire with my US supplier ,if you are interested. I may be able to bring one out with the 1895's. Thanks
