On the left side of the chamber is stamped ' 69 GRs.nc 510 GRs. bullet '.

Hi Crobar,
The load stamping on your rifle date it pre 1955. This is interesting as the 458 Win Mag is usually quoted as being released in 1956.

The rifle will most likely be a BSA "Emperor" made from the mid to late 1950's.
The Emperor model was only offered in .458 Win Mag.
A good photo of the proof marks can provide the year in which the proofing was done.
