It is a beautiful rifle, but IMO, is as useless as tits on a boar hog! Nothing more than a rich man's "LOOK AT ME" toy! This reflects the personality of it's owner.

These things are so heavy you can't carry one far, and if sticks are not available you can't hold it to shoot with any accuracy. The weight reduses your abiltiy to swing this thing for a second shot, in case the first one doesn't do the trick, and the recoil doesn't break your nose!

Mark Sullivan is much prouder of that thing than than it is worth! $165,000 USD,

Buy yourself three useful doubles with that money, A light little 9.3X74R,@$5K, a 450/400 3",for under $10K, and a 500NE, for $12,500, all new, for $27,500,total, and use the other $138,000 to go to African on five top notch safaris, at $27,700 USD each!
