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?

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.

Butch, everything you drag out of your safe seems to have outstanding wood. Hasbeen

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.

Hold into the wind

Closed at $6,025. Kidneys are no longer up for sale.

I hope that it was someone here who nabbed it.

It appears that my first one may hit Gunbroker next week. It has 30 rounds through it.
