bwanamrmHow is that rifle priced and what are turnaround times on custom orders? Thanks and beautiful work!
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

silvertip1From what the photographs show it appears that the workmanship on the rifle is exceptional.
However, with all due respect, I think that a rifle of that quality should have new bottom metal instead of reworked military bottom metal. I also don't care too much for the high polish job on the metalwork, even though it appears extemely well done. And I think Americans prefer a straighter grip on the stock.

SevensIt looks beautiful to me. While it does not exhibit the open grip typically associated with a 375 H&H "Express" rifle, I don't think it takes away from this rifle either. Still screams Africa to me while retaining a unique signature unique to the maker (much like how a Dorleac & Dorleac is often seen with a razor sharp nose on the comb or how a Martini & Hagn have a very distinct forend shape).
I'd happily hunt with it.

We don't use military actions as they lack smoothness. The right-handed Mauser 98 action was originally made by FN Herstal in Belgium and then bought by Husqvarna in Sweden and used for their civilian rifles which we've later acquired a limited batch of. These are then completely overhauled and the trigger mechanism and bottom is then replaced with modern equivalents so the action feels and looks like new. Remember, this rifle starts at half price the price of a british equivalent. In the future though, we will have to opt for the expensive new ones and at this point we're already using them for our left-handed versions.

Thank you. We make all the common CIP or SAAMI standard calibers all the way up to .465 H&H Magnum.

No need to worry. We can build it in both right- and left-hand configuration.
