Congrats….. on a truly fine rifle! We have it's twin resting peacefully in the vault! memtb
Thanks guys! @Mike from Texas, no not from what I read they are tend to be a bit fickle to load for. Should be fun though. Any one have any bullet suggestions for this 9 twist?

My brothers wife is like that now. She wasn't before, till he cleaned out his inventory slightly, about 30 rifles. Took them to a local auction. Most were doubles of what he already has, won in raffles. Or scored a good deal. Needless to say he got a big fat check for them. Now she no longer complains. I was & am still a little peed at him for not even letting me know. Such is family & friends. I've learnt over the years.

We designed the 121g Hammer Hunter with this rifle in mind. Congrats on a great rifle!

Tell your friend to keep looking on Reddings auction in Gettysburg PA. I see them there quite a lot. Not all the time. But they just had a auction a few months ago. Someones collection. Very fine like new. Not sure about the prices. I didn't attend. You can bid online. Additional fees do apply though. Here is a upcoming auction. More to follow if he gets on their mailing list. https://www.reddingauction.com/Oct27.htm

Congrats on a random diamond find! It happened to me once.
Starting about 40 years ago I wanted a BAR for boar hunting in coastal Calif but as a young father couldn't afford one. Years passed. In 09 I was at big C, and wandered into the Gun Room. I noticed center display table lit by soft spotlights was a 2006 RMEF special edition BAR, never fired in 270win. Beautiful wood with engraved elk horns, matte black and gold engraved receiver of elk hunting scenes and frill. $900. A new standard one at that time was probably north of $1200 but this was no standard model.(a sister gun from the same run of 450 showed up 2 years later for $1600) My jaw dropped. It was the only gun I bought on the spot and it got me back into shooting and reloading. It is vey accurate with my hand loads; it is capable of producing clover leaves.
I just returned from a 13 day (them bucks was hidin out!) backcountry hunt where I carried it every day and shot it once, though I have other rifles that would also have fit the bill.
Sometimes we get involved with the romance or nostalgia of a particular gun. Easy to see that a pre-64 Win would easily be one of them.
