I know two PG's in Zimbabwe who use .458 Mannlichers. Have handled but not shot either one. I liked the general feel and they were both very smooth. It was the primary weapon of one PH but the other used a 416Rigby CZ550 and used the Mannlicher as backup or as a loaner. They seemed to be of the normal top Mannlicher quality in fit and finish. Can't make up my mind whether I LIKE or DISLIKE the removable magazines.
