What a neat rifle.

Back in 1986 I was a young seminary student heading to Africa and I wrote Lott and we corresponded a bit. At one point he offered to build me a .458. He told me to get a .375 H&H Interarms Whitworth (for the long magazine) and he'd rebarrel it to .458, sink a couple bolts in the recoil wood and thru the stock behind the magazine and put some weight in the stock as he considered the Whitworth's to be too light. I remember he wrote he'd charge me $300 for the whole job.

Well.....I really didn't need a .458 and couldn't see getting one at the time and thanked him but never had the gun built. I bought a SAKO AV .375 which I still have to this day and still shoot elk with.

When I look at that SAKO I think of Jack Lott and the .458 that never was.

Congrats on yours!
