very pretty

Very nice.. Would look good in my gun case.. Good luck in selling..

Buying those five rifles would be the definition of being "Winchester Poor".

Bought them back in the early 2000's.

I have a friend who has a .375 from one of the sets. He bought plain bottom metal for it and has taken it to Africa a couple of times. I have shot it and it is a great shooter for a .375.

That is impressive, heck I'm happy just looking at the picture.

Here is a shot showing the gold inlaid bottom metal

Wow!!! Good luck selling. Wish I had $20000 laying around. These would be in my safe.

Would you take $900 for the .416? I understand shipping may cost upwards of $19,100, so maybe you'd throw in the other four just as a bonus...

DAMN-fine collection you've got there! I've only ever seen a complete set one other time at a gun shop and I think they wanted something north of $25k for them. That .470 Capstick sure is a hellofa unique bolt gun!

These of course are beauties, as one might expect from the New Haven Custom Shop. $20K is $4,000 apiece which is not unreasonable for what they are, NIB, with Custom Shop letters, special features and especially for a complete set.

The problem is in finding a buyer, since it likely will be someone who will never shoot any of them, but will tuck them away in a safe, hoping to keep them for investment (not a great idea) or just to possess them. If I had enough spendable cash, I'd like to have them, of course, but I don't. Nice to think about, though! There surely are some folks here who do. Good luck.

That's a good deal, my buddy bought a set a couple years ago for over $30,000.

I have seen them go at auction for north of $30k. Online for over $25k

I need to win the lottery....

Gorgeous rifles..

+1 bump up again

Thanks for the bump, gunchamp!

That set of rifles would be like: you get a date with the prettiest girl you ever met. then when you go to pick her up, you learn that she is a quintuplet and there she sits with her four sisters, all smiling at you. And they can cook, too.

If you break em up I'm interested in the 375 & 416

A full set like that is something to behold... don't they have matching or consecutive serial numbers when purchased in the set like that?

Drooling and broke here

Buy em and resell em if they're worth 30K. Or better yet OP, auction them babies off and spend the additional proceeds on charity.
