Re: Alex Henry 450 3 1/4

Huvius:
There are absolutely no issues with the rifle. I was given a great opportunity to head back to Tanz after DG and needed to put that rifle and it's brother up for sale. They both shoot 2 to 3 inch groups at 100 yards using 4198 and the Lyman 457122 325 grain HP bullet, for which both were regulated. They are the most balanced rifles I have ever owned. Beautiful, as well.

My brother was in Edinburgh in June of this year and the boys at Dickson-McNaughton were great and accommodating in allowing them to research and copy the day book entries for these rifles. I followed up with the research from there and included the provenance on both rifles that George printed on the ads at Champlins. The last target I shot is with George as well. #6589 was in the possession of the same individual for 47 years before I purchased it. I have newspaper accounts, as well as pictures, of his taking wild boar and other game, with that rifle.

At my age I do not want to pass up an opportunity to go back to Tanz. Will use my 450-400 3 1/4 and .375 while there.
