Now that's my idea of a fine single shot rifle! Gorgeous, and a nice restoration!

Well done! Mine is in 450/400 3 1/4 MNE and sometime in its past a previous owner decided to take advantage of the large action sides and faced them off and added his own engraving - a Cape Buffalo portrait on one side and a charging lion on the other. Hopefully he didn't use it a lot for that kind of game as one day when I was shooting it at the range (400 grain Barnes and 80 grains of 4350) it just ceased to function. Turns out the pins of the stirrup just sheared off. In spite of every other part of the action being made of quarter inch steel, the stirrup would have been at home in a shotgun. As a matter of fact the fix was replacing it with a S&W stirrup!

I'm not sure if any of you noticed or not but there was an error in the caliber marking which has now been corrected. New rear sight was fit up as well.
