I may have posted this before, but these photos are better. Metal work was done by Dennis Olson. It is a VZ-24 receiver, Shilen barrel, NECG front sight and barrel band, Wisner bottom metal, and an XS peep. The stock was carved by Jim Kobe.

If it shoots, and if you can also shoot, that there is a dream rifle.

Well, I'm too old and crippled to shoot it off the bench. My Grandson loves to do that. After he sights it in I can shoot it ok offhand.

One complaint. Pics need to be bigger!!!! Beautiful rifle and superb craftsmanship. The wood isn't too shabby either!

Don't particularly want a .458 Lott, but I admit to being very envious. grin

Beautiful stock!


If you reload, there's no such thing as an obsolete cartridge.

Nicely done. Kudos to all the craftsmen involved.

What all did Dennis Olsen have to do to the VZ24 action to feed and function with the .458 Lott?

Well, I didn't commission the build, so I don't know it all. He machined a proper follower, notch is front ring to facilitate loading, extended mag box, and I think he trimmed the bolt stop.
