SN 0081. Cal. .458 Lott Bbl is 24″ long and has muzzle threaded for 2″ ported muzzle brake. Bbl is engraved “A. DEES R. HANSON HAVRE, MT.” on top. There are 2″ triangles of well cut open shaded scroll on breech end. Shaped island base holds one standing, one folding leaf U-notch sight, marked for 100 and 200 yards. A sling eye is soldered on and a banded-on ramp front holds sourdough bead, and features knurled sight protector with push button release detent and scroll engraving on each side. Caliber is engraved on left rear below island base. Light sporter weight .300 Weatherby magnum bbl is not fitted with sights, but does have sling eye, and is engraved matching Lott bbl. Magnum length double square solid side wall Mauser type action by Granite Mountain features their large .750 diameter bolt with long handle and five panel checkered pear-shaped knob, as well as custom shroud with three position Model 70 type safety. Specially made drop box bottom metal has hinged floorplate retained by button in trigger guard bow. Extended fore part lines up with release housing for Norsmans takedown bbl system. A sliding button releases bbl so it can be unscrewed. Receiver ring and bridge squares have been fitted with Leupold QD bases. Action is engraved with exceptionally well cut scroll with stippled backgrounds, central whorls of which terminate in well rendered portraits of the African “Big Five” with a leopard on left receiver ring, and a black rhino on right. A cape buffalo is at rear portion of floorplate, and a lion at front. A well done relief white gold inlay of a mature bull elephant is in central oval. There are sprays of scroll on release housing, trigger guard bow, and steel grip cap. Engraving is signed “MH” (Marcus Hunt?) on floorplate. Beautifully flame figured dense American walnut capped pistol grip stock measures 14″ over black Decelerator pad, and features small shadow line right hand cheekpiece, ebony forend tip, recoil bolt, borderless point pattern checkering wrapping over grip and with panels at forend, and a sling eye on toe line. Swarovski 2.5 – 10 X 42 Habicht scope with duplex reticle and storm covers, is in Leupold QD rings. Drop at heel: approx 2-15/16″, drop at comb: approx 1-15/16″. Weight with Lott bbls (no scope): 11 lbs 4 oz. LOP: 14″. Weight with Weatherby bbls with scope: 10 lbs. 9 oz. Aluminum Americase with black vinyl trim is foam filled and contains Norsman neoprene sleeve for action and both sets of bbls, as well as knurled ring for muzzle when brake is removed. CONDITION: Excellent, near new, with only a few light handling marks, and some nicks from assembly and disassembly of bbls. Temper blue of takedown button is slightly silvered. Mechanically crisp. Scope is excellent, brilliant optics. Case has a few dents and scratches. Interior foam has some slight deterioration. This combo could not be beat for a one rifle African safari. 4-55330 (12,500-17,500) – Lot 2511
