Idaho SharpshooterButch 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.

buckeyeshooterI 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!

Bill73I have a 71 in the Turnbull round,it is a beautiful rifle,the work well done,I have shot a couple of pigs so far with it,it is very accurate with the Turnbull loaded ammunition,the guys and Mr.Turnbull are very easy to deal with and are very helpful.

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

N E 450 No2I 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.

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