*STUNNING N. MAKINSON CUSTOM MAGNUM CZ DANGEROUS GAME RIFLE ENGRAVED BY ADONE “TIZ” POZZOBON OF TORONTO, CANADA.

SN 41601. Cal. .416 Dakota. This beautifully crafted rifle features a fine custom contoured 24″ 1/3 octagon 2/3 round bbl with integral quarter rib/ raised sight base, transitioning through low rib to front sight base. There is also an integral sling eye on bottom. A single standing express rear sight with platinum line and gold bead front, have been fitted. Muzzle is threaded for removable muzzle brake, blank cap presently fitted. Sunken rib in front of quarter rib is engraved “N. J. Makinson & Son.” and with “Howell, Michigan” on top left octagon flat, and with caliber on top right. CZ 602 magnum length Model 98 Mauser type action has been extensively smoothed and reworked to produce this fine rifle. Bolt handle has been changed to a Model 98 pear shape with checkered knob, and a Model 70 type three position safety installed on bolt shroud. Action, bottom metal, quarter rib, and rear portion of bbl have been beautifully engraved with exceptionally fine, large, open, delicately shaded scroll at nearly full coverage. This scroll surrounds portrait of snarling lion in oval frame on floorplate. This fine engraving is by Adone “Tiz” Pozzobon of Toronto, Canada, whose signature appears behind rear action screw head. Truly exceptional, flesh-toned, beautifully marbled and elegantly figured Circassian walnut classically styled, stock features black Decelerator pad, small shadow line cheekpiece, engraved steel grip cap, ebony forend tip, and very well cut point pattern wraparound checkering with mullered borders. A sling eye is in raised wood island surround on toe line. Drop at heel: 2-1/4″, drop at comb: 1-5/8″. Weight: 9 lbs. 12 oz. LOP: 15-1/4″. PROVENANCE: Collection of Milan “Steve” Babiar. CONDITION: Excellent, appears essentially as new, with a few minor handling and storage marks, mostly along toe line, and with scant evidence of having been fired. (.416 Dakota is based on the .404 Jeffery case, eliminating problems associated with getting the larger .416 Rigby case to feed). A very fine big game magazine rifle. 4-51438 MGM224 (6,000-10,000) – Lot 2273a
