That looks like a throw back to some other maker who
used to do that "raised band" type of thing for the
rear sight.

I think it might have been Thomas Bland.

Agree 500 Nitro, a few dings makes any gun more attractive.

A very tidy set up.

The Boss .275 Stephen posted had the scallops on each side of the rear sight. It must be a little "Boss" touch.

Comments from the earlier thread:

"There seems to be some controversy about Boss bolt action rifles :

Boss have only ever built "IN HOUSE" one bolt action rifle.

It is in 300H&H on a takedown action.

It is marked "FIRST BOLT ACTION RIFLE" Serial number "10300"

It has a good Australian home!


Boss did however embellish ,modify ,restock or engrave the odd rifle for special customers.

Nordmann

I know.

But unless a gun is kept totally unused and in pristine condition in a gun cabinet, then as per Claydog, I think they add character.

I can normally put a date and reason for most of my dents and nicks.

I even have the gun stock from an H&H that has Leopard teeth marks and scratches on it !!!

That was one nice rifle. On those quiet nights when the breeze drops and there is a deathly silence I wonder what became of Nordmann. There was a poster who knew how to rub people. Usually the wrong way.

I don't believe Nordman's website even exists anymore? And the listings it used to have in jamesedition.


I am wondering also what has become of Nigel/500nitro?

I have tried his emails and his telephone numbers and searches on the net using his name. Nothing. Anyone know what has happened to him?

Nordmann i can live without.
