WTS Enfield chambered for the potent .458HE. The 458 HE is a 3 1/2 inch belted magnum. As far as I know it is the largest of the 45 cal cases out there. I load a 470 grain solid to just over 2530FPS. I could go faster but I like to keep the chamber pressures down to extend brass life.

The Good: The rifle is a beast. It is heavy with a 27inch barrel and weighed stock. Because it is nice and heavy recoil is tolerable. I can shoot it all day. The rifle was built by the creator of the cartritge Ed Hubel who is one of todays pioneers in modern big bores.

The Bad: The gun is Ugly built for utility not for looks. I am sure Someone could spend a lot of money and have a custom stock made for it, or just paint the wood. Because of the length of the cartritge it is no longer magazine fed. It is just one hell of a single shot.

Gun comes with reloading dies and 40 pieces of brass. (that is enough brass to last a lifetime provided you do not try and set speed records)
$500 Takes the beast. Located is the farrrr east valley
