My first big bore

[Wyatt Smith]

I did not see the auction listing; however, likely would have taken the gamble as well.

It was at a local auction although they do have live online bidding. I had to work and was unable to attend so I left a bid with them.
It is kind of an ugly thing, but they can be pretty in their own utilitarian way.
Who knows maybe someday I’ll sell off all my big rifles and buy a proper English big game rifle.

That rifle can be cleaned up pretty easily... definitely shoot it before deciding on letting it go. I can't tell you how many builds were thwarted by shooting the donor rifle first.

I will say the action is incredibly slick, much more so than my CZ 416 or my old BRNO 375 was. I hope it feeds.
