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

BiebsHere's some youtube videos of him firing and disassembling the rifle.

bwanamrmHow 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.

Spectacular wood.

tomahawker230 yards! Marco Polo sheep look out! Fantastic rifle
23 February 2020, 04:39
BiebsYes, that's quite a poke with a 500NE and open sights!

boom stickCan it be mass produced as a single shot?
23 February 2020, 19:15
BiebsBoomy, I know he has a new single shot action with a side lever. He's selling the actions. Here's a youtube video:

LabmanI hope you're planning on shooting an elephant with that gun. Would be a real shame to make it a safe queen.

boom stickMaybe 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.
25 February 2020, 02:21
BiebsBoomy, I'm sure he'd make one...perhaps already has one in stock.
25 February 2020, 04:20
BiebsLabman, 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.

BiebsYes, 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 :-)
25 February 2020, 20:01
mlfgunsBiebs, you have good taste. It is very well done.
26 February 2020, 04:15
BiebsMLF, thank you. I've had probably 12 to 15 custom rifles built over time, but this was the most elaborate by far.

Bill73Jon,
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

Tim CarneyWhat 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
26 February 2020, 21:14
BiebsTim, 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 :-)
26 February 2020, 21:24
Bill73Jon,
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

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

boom stickSomeone, please take that rifle to Africa and put it through the paces and report back here.
