The 460 sounds like a second had Deluxe that has had the Williams site added.

If you are interested in the rifle check if it is earlier model with the Pendleton Dekicker as compared to the removable Accubrake which is a KDF type muzzle brake.

The Pendleton is integral with the barrel and not very effective at all. The Pendleton is easy recognised as apart from being part of the barrel it is full of tiny little holes and expansion chamber. The two problems with the old Pendleton models is that you can work up some nice reduced loads with the 460 where a brake is not needed but because the Pendletin is integral you can't unscrew it and you still need to wear ear muffs even though the loaded is quite reduced. For full power loads the removable Accubrake is far more effective.

The Safari is a Custom Shop rifle and they are made much better than a Deluxe. They are like an entry level Custom Shop Wby. The higher levels have the top wood, skeleton grip cap etc and a different barrel.

But the shiny Wbys with inlays when taken above the standard Crown Custom or Royal Custom are quite a bit dearer than the Safari taken to the top level. A 378 would be around $14000 and a 460 about $15000 plus.

But it is all relative as that sort of money would only buy a few clothing bits and pieces and H&&H or Purdey
