Those Browning FN long extractor are great looking rifles, even without the lipstick. I am more enthralled by them than most M70's. I only have one, a non-lipstick version 30-06. I definitely think of it as a fine representation of days past of rifle production. I would be very tempted, if locally I run across a good condition 458 Winchester. I use to see a few locally in the early 90's.
You may need a fine FN 458 WM there LDM.
Damn cool history lesson about MAHOHBAH Sir Ron, my old FN Browning is plenty light enough to carry all day tracking buffalo, it needs to go on my next trip, thought i remembered getting 2300 fps with 500gr Partitions at 3.340 inch, hell of a load Sir, even the old load at 2166 fps ain't going to bounce off anything, have read, but never had any trouble with H335 being slightly compressed with long 500gr NPT's, that ammunition is too good and too damn accurate to pull ; ]
