Holy Cow! I've never seen one with that kind of wood on it.

Nice rifle for sure.
One could take a Winchester target 52 C model, it must be the "C " for the excellent trigger.
Either re-barrel or machine existing barrel to a tapered octagon put your own wood on it in a stock made for you .....and have a very fine one of a kind custom.
.
Custom rifles is where it's at....for me.

I've only seen a half dozen of these rifles for sale over the years and this one is one of the top two for stunning wood.
I had one with AA wood on it from 1992 till about 8 years ago or so...bought for $1300, sold for $3600 but it was a repeater. About two years ago one just like it but just a little better wood sold for $10K on GB....
Will be interesting to see what thiis single shot goes for...

When I was 17 my heart would beat faster every time I would read the article on the 541-S in G&A.
I scraped and scrimped til I got the $169 to get one.
Heart does the same thing when I see this 40-x. $4025 with 24 hours to go. I bet it goes up 50% before it closes.
Anybody need a kidney?

I have 2. Wood for my second one. ![[Linked Image]](http://i63.tinypic.com/e8rfxu.jpg) My first: ![[Linked Image]](http://i63.tinypic.com/2468cg2.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i67.tinypic.com/2qmp2s9.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i68.tinypic.com/2eoy9h5.jpg) Not a muzzle device, just a fixture to hold my rifles during photography. Thought I had photos of my second one. Guess I need to get busy on it.

Roger Vardy has the best walnut and with the money rate exchange, it is a real bargain. Shipping from Australia ain't much either.

Fugawe: Its over $5,000.00 (five thousand dollars!) now!
Wow is right.
Still 8 (eight) hours to go on the auction - you are right it will be interesting to see what it does sell for.
RJM: Thanks for posting the link to this cool Rifle.

Closed at $6,025. Kidneys are no longer up for sale.
I hope that it was someone here who nabbed it.
