[URL=]1[/URL] [URL=]2[/URL] [URL=]3[/URL] Some pics sent by Ralf. It is looking pretty good. I will quote him so I can describe what you are looking at.
"Yes George , I roughed it out , about .125" oversize all around . No inletting at all since I don't have a pattern . So I will do all of that and the final shaping by hand. Good hard dense wood with super figure . Pictures are just with water on the wood and my cell phone . Doesn't do the wood enough justice. With the oil finish the color will even out from the forend and butt. Are you going to Vegas again ? Ralf"

That's a sweet stick for some sweet metal. That action is a GEN 1 S/A. Did a few of those '02 thru '10, That very 458 being the last of that design. The Gen 1 was done in 416 Rigby, 404 Jeffery, 375 H&H, 458 Lott, 338 Win mag. All have been cherished rifles by their owners 416 and 375 both doing well by their owners filling out on big 5 hunts. As a reminder, that particular 458 lott has been set up to feed the 500gr meplates. Just so you know when time comes for planning ammo. Otherwise, like I said great looking stick should be a super rifle can't wait to see her finished.
