Hopp,

The auction I am following has not closed and the price was well up into the $5000 range ($5821 a minute ago).

I personally inspected the rifle on Tuesday and was not too impressed. Certainly it is not worth to me the astronomical price it seems to be headed for. It reminded me a great deal of a .416 I brought back from Kenya in the early 70's, which I later sold to a famous (or infamous) country music star who appears on Monday Night Football. I will have to check my records to verify that it's the same rifle.

The stock is definitely a replacement and the inletting leaves a good deal to be desired. However, the action has not been mutilated and the barrel seems to be in acceptable condition.

My reservations with rifles like this have to do with my reluctance to modify them to make them more useable. Although I hunt almost exclusively with scopes, I would hesitate to fit this original action with either scope bases or a receiver sight. Maybe a cocking piece sight would be the answer.
