I hate it when they don't have a photo showing the factory that made the action.  | |||

Dave, the owner of Trop's, is a great guy. He's on AR on occasion, as "ezra4570" if I remember. I have bought and sold rifles with Dave several times, and he's a stand-up guy. | |||

doesnt look like there are any sidewall or front ring markings on this rifle other than the serial number. a photo can't show what's not there.

Biebs you should buy this rifle... I know a guy who might have a .500 Jeffrey he could use for trading material!!! 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.

This rifle is just top notch. What strikes me as much as the fine quality of the rifle, is the low price. I love the so called "real" British pedigree rifles from the likes of Rigby, Holland & Holland, Jeffery, and Westley Richards, but their prices are beyond imagining. This rifle seems every bit their equal for 1/4 the price. If I were single, I could actually afford this one! Matt FISH!!

WOW.Lon Paul is tops.That is a VERY nice rifle! Excellent stock shape especially from the pistol grip to the butt. | |||

That is exactly true. And since Lon is also a serious hunter he makes sure his rifles handle and feed every bit as good as they look. They are the choice of many African PH's for that reason. I even know of one old Alaskan sourdough who uses one  Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship Phil Shoemaker Alaska Master guide FAA Master pilot NRA Benefactor www.grizzlyskinsofalaska.com | |||

That ole' sourdough should buy it, and add his signature duct tape and Rustoleum to match his other fine weaponry :-) | |||

I did seriously consider buying Lon's 500 Jeffery when he had it for sale at the show last year. But I left it for you.

Actually new built english rifles have radically inflated in price in the last 100 years. In 1910 A H&H royal double cost about 79 pound or $375.oo in 1910 dollars. The average wage in America in 1910 was $750.oo a year. So a H&H royal cost about 6 months wages for the average working American. The average wage in America in 2011 is about to $43,000 per year. So if the buyng power of our dollar stayed constant... A H&H royal should cost around $21,500.oo in todays money. As can be seen, the politicans have done thier work well... . | |||

This 404 I would think is close to replacement cost(probably below). Doesn't really matter because if your in the market for a fine rifle,you could do alot worse. Too much money in the world and that money is held by too few hands.
