Anyone on here have any experience with this calibre rifle or the company itself?

Butch posts here. He took the prototype to Africa. IIRC he had no issues killing a nice Cape Buffalo with it.

If I did not already have an '86 in 50-110 I'd be having him build me one.

Neat ballistics.

I had Turnbull Restoration do a 50 alaskan for me. They are great to deal with and very professional. I would recommend them as someone you could trust to do the job and do it very well.
I can't comment on the .475 Turnbull cartridge as I went larger! dancing

Great to hear about the accuracy. Hope it will shoot 3/4" groups like my .470NE Krieghoff Classic does.

I have seen and handled several of Turnbulls products.

All have been first rate.

I have also shot a couple of his rifles, including his Personal 1886 475 Turnbull,well over 50 rounds, several rounds fired at 200 to 300 yards, at some steel targets.

I must say that the rifle fit me perfect, recoil was very mild. The 1886 worked like oil on slick ice.

It was one of the best handling shooting rifles I have ever fired.

I was Impressed. I liked it. Big Grin

I would have NO hesitation sending him a gun to work on, or to buy a gun he had in "stock".
