Not sure you understand how plagiarism works. Post up a link; the seller would appreciate the extra views.Well if I had one I'd throw up a pic... But plagiarism is frowned upon around here or id share the beauty I found on gunbroker today...
Ok then, here's the beauty I want and can't afford right now...Not sure you understand how plagiarism works. Post up a link; the seller would appreciate the extra views.
The 458 Tropical barrel looked thicker than a 12 ga and a lot more solid. I think they used that barrel profile for 404 Jeffrey, 416 Rigby, 450 Nitro, 458 Win, 458 Lott, 470 Nitro, and others. I'll have to look this up when I get a chance.
That's nicer wood than what I've seen on the few 458's I've looked at recently.Here's a picture of a No1 Tropical in 458 Win Mag. I found it cheap on the used gun rack a dozen years ago, and had to buy it. It was a beauty. The first time I shot it was in the summer, off a concrete bench, in a T-shirt. That baby kicked. I was done after shooting four 350gr@2410fps and four 400gr@2350fps. I ended up selling it on consignment the year before Covid for more than twice what I paid. It seems that it has nearly doubled in value again since then.

There’s that “need” word again. I’m going to have to look it up one day to see what it means.
Inconceivable!“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
Good heavens that’s gorgeousOk then, here's the beauty I want and can't afford right now...

Quite seriously, the .458 shoots cast bullets quite nicely. 50 brass could last the life of the rifle. Keeping velocity in the 1600-1800fps range, it is great for hogs, deer, elk... The meat damage is considerably less than a lot of the modern centerfire rifle calibers.I drove all the way to Cabela's today to pick up an order for primers. When I was there, I checked out the gun library. I saw a Ruger No. 1 Tropical in 458 Winchester Magnum. What do I need it for?
If I shoot groundhogs in humid summer conditions can I call it a "Tropical" ? LOLNot a Tropical but now you mention a K Hornet...
A friend bought a No 3 in K Hornet with Bubba grade stock checkering and varnish.
He put on No 1 stock and foreend, and cut off the tail of the lever to resemble a Sharps instead of a Winchester.
We now call it a No 2.
It was not notably accurate in K Hornet so he had it rechambered .223 which shoots better with 50-55 gr bullets.
