Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Express Rifles and Big Bores Only The great 458 Winchester. Everyone should own one at least once

NECG finally got the M98 3-pos wing safety from across the pond and fulfilled their backorders.
My "Big Ugly" project has the needed parts now, and has been renamed "Old Fugly" in honor of Phil Shoemaker's "Old Ugly" the .458 WinMag.













Old Fugly should be great with the 250-grainers and birdshot capsule loads.
Her saving grace is that she has the original SAAMI .458 WinMag throat,
barrel was not set back when re-chambered to .458 Lott.
She is a .458 Lott "Like Jack Built," and not the SAAMI .458 Lott with short and tight throat.
