After 10 years in the making, my Bradshaw double is finished. Barrel sets are in 500 NE and 450-400. Specs are 26" barrels, deep relief engraving, gilding accents, high-grade Luxus Walnut blank, and express sights.       | ||

She sure is a beauty. Would love to see a video of shooting and loading action. Is it quiet loading? | |||

How much do you want for it? 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. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||

Boomy, I know he has a new single shot action with a side lever. He's selling the actions. Here's a youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WbFkeThzLA | |||

I hope you're planning on shooting an elephant with that gun. Would be a real shame to make it a safe queen. Tom Z NRA Life Member | |||

Maybe he is keeping the resale value up and going to fund a safari with it.  Do we hear a bid for twice what he paid??? Biebs... the side lever is interesting, I was hoping he would sell actions of the rising block. 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S.

Boomy, I'm sure he'd make one...perhaps already has one in stock. | |||

Labman, that was my original intention when I ordered the rifle....500NE for Elephant and 450-400NE for Buffalo and large Plains Game. But now 10 years later and 16 hunts in Africa, I'm not sure I'll be going back. | |||

Yes, I don't have a use for it now. Offers considered for what I felt was the ultimate African hunting firearm. | |||

Yes, it has a different kind of bling :-) | |||

Biebs, you have good taste. It is very well done. | |||

MLF, thank you. I've had probably 12 to 15 custom rifles built over time, but this was the most elaborate by far. | |||

Jon, You gotta pull another African trip out of the hat for this,I want to see you posing with a big tusker with your dream rifle  DRSS | |||

What are the barrels regulated for, Biebs? I'd guess the Hornady ammunition for the 450-400 3-inch. I'm thinking of using that Hornady for the 450-400 barrels Bailey will be making for mine. Regards, Tim | |||
|
| One of Us |
Tim, yes, both barrel sets are regulated for Hornady ammunition...makes things much easier. | |||

Bal, trade me back the Dakota African in 338 Lapua and a pile of cash, and it could be you in that tusker photo :-) | |||
|
| One of Us |
Jon, I am pretty photo shy & the pile of cash keeps getting smaller  the only tusker I will see this year is hopefully a big hog in Texas soon  DRSS | |||

Don't knock Hog hunting....think of them as little Cape Buffalo, but more wary :-) | |||
