I have shot two and handled others. They are very well built and very accurate. They make their own hammer forged barrels and the custom shop turns out a very quality product.
Would not hesitate to own one.
If you have a model number and approximate year I can tell you more. I know several SA folks who own them.

I can ax my contacts tomorrow and see what they can find out. Musgrave was talking about it years ago, but it never materialized.
Update - My SA contact says he cannot find any official announcement regarding Musgrave coming to the US. So there's that...

I have a set of dies for a something or other Muskgrave but I don't know why or where I got them.
I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

I’ve shot several on SA safaris. Well made, accurate rifles.

I own a single shot Musgrave Pal.a match rifle 7.62x51 rebarreled to .223 . It is scoped for Fclass but I just use it as a loaner for new shooters
Wonderful shooter . I was told by a gunsmith friend that he charges twice as much to D&T them because they go through a tap and bit for each rifle, they are that hard!
Mine has a Canjar trigger, butbit dors have thd original stock still.
