I am not a big underlever or hammergun guy, but what a great looking rifle. Might be a little tough lugging it around all day, but darn nice rifle. http://www.champlinarms.com/De...GunID=2649&StyleID=3 Mike | ||

Imagine taking that back to Africa for a Buff hunt, 100+ years later. | |||

Damn that is a beautiful rifle. Would be nice to take a buffalo with that.

That is probably the most exquisite piece of walnut I have ever seen! "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

I'm going back to Zim in 2015. Come along and take my 8 (or 4 if you wish) and blast away. I will take my .450-400 for plains game in SA, and my diminutive .600 for the bigger stuff.

It's lovely, but wined what it was like before it was refinished. Given the state of the bores probably handled and a bit worn but not abused. I do think old guns are so much nicer when well cared for, but not refinished - they just age gracefully. | |||

Refinished or not, sure is a purdy (pun intended - I know it's not one) double. Is the asking price ,$45k, in line? I have zero idea of what it's worth. | |||
