Built by people that cared about workmanship.
Thats serious business there
A gunbroker member in Charleston has a .458. If I need anything shot with one will go pick him up and let him shoot it.
Same caliber the client shot his PH with, in 2013 IIRC.
Ricci is the king of tease😲
nice
when I was a kid I flipped to back of a Remington flyer the biggest they listed was a 458 Mag
many years later around 1979 or so I ran across one ( ruger 458 win mag ) at a gun show it was calling my name first one I had ever I picked it up looked it over the price was more than I I had ever spent on a gun so I dropped my head and walked away thinking about it .. then a couple rows over some fellow had a box of 458 ammo same I had never seen a box of it at the local gun shows ( maybe because I never looked 😁 ) but I knew it was destiny calling me LOL I bought both that day still have the rifle it was /is a great conversation gun and fun to shoot . I was told my nephew bought a 460 whereby a few months back, but I have not to see him since then ( covid ) dang kids how to out gun me LOL
She's a beaut!! That right there is what a rifle is supposed to look like.

I’ll wager that’s why it looks brand new. Dangerous even if the game is just a paper target!!!
Sure is a beauty though.
Nice.
Does it come with a sandbag for your shoulder?
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Ricci, this is a little out of my League but looks familiar. i am relying on my not so great memory and if I am wrong someone please correct me. Seems years ago Charles Daly sold similar guns and got them from Zastavia. i believe they called the barreled action a Mark X.
A lot of custom gun makers were buying that barreled action and doing their build. Well the bean counters at Remington did not like this and i think maybe it was cutting into their sales. So, the good old boys at Remington flew over there and struck a deal with Zastavia. "From now on you make that barreled action for only Remington." I think they were imported into Florida.
Well, about 10 years ago Remington perked up my interest and I purchased a matched pair put together in Tennessee plant for only a couple of years. Remington calls them a "798". One is a 375 H&H and one is a 458 Magnum . Both have 22" barrels and are Safari Grade. They are natural wood with a thin strip down the middle not the multiple laminations like the others. Mine have the classic rosewood forend cap that I prefer as opposed to the back rake angle. Of course they both have a nice recoil pad. The bluing is great and the metal to wood is pretty darn good also.----------------------------------------Ray
I think you are right.
That stock sure is purty. Also, 350 Rem mag is no joke.

458 kicks about 3 times harder than a 30/06

Dangerous on both ends.
