Congrats! What a find. I also aquired one of these a few months ago. Mine was more recent than yours, made in '92 if I remember correctly. It was my introduction to the world of big bores. I LOVE IT!!! I was extremely surprised to discover how pleasant it is to shoot. It certainly won't be my last. I am trying to decide whether to get another in 9.3x74, 375h&h or 450/400 next. Or maybe a nice bolt gun in 375 or 458. Or maybe just hold out and get a double. I have a 300 weatherby that's begging to be turned into a 416 Taylor or maybe a 458wm (or possibly 470AR). Just too many choices!!!
