One of the projects I have been pondering is a .458 setup for two purposes...1) daily carry in Alaska; 2) buffalo and elephant in Africa. It needs to be light weight as I walk a lot particularly when hunting in Africa. The Ruger Lott I just sold was too heavy for the power it produced...about 11 pounds unscoped. I'm looking for something in the 8 pound range that is highly weather resistant, 100% reliable and with excellent iron sights that are bomb proof.

How would you set it up if this was your project? Who would do the work? If you have done something like this tell us about it and show us photos? If you have posted something like this in another topic just point me towards it. Thanks.
