The 470 Capstick is either necked up from 338 WM brass, cut down 375 brass or necked down 458 WM brass. I believe Art Alphin first came out with the wildcat round so the the 475 NE bullets can be used in a bolt action without the expense of buying the double rifle. It was, of course, named for Peter H. Capstick and they had a chance to test it out on safari and found it to be a great killer. What you have is a collector's item as there were very, very few factory rifles so chambered. Go ahead and buy it and squander the kids' inheritance. I believe GeorgeS has one and you could PM him about his. As my CRS doesn't seem to affect my memory too much, I could be off by a bit but I do stand by A. Alphin wildcatting it way back when.

Lo do they call to me,
They bid me take my place among
them in the Halls of Valhalla,
Where the brave may live forever.
