How about this scenario: A W&S rifle, ordered without the cocking piece sight, Lyman 48 sight substituted, rebarreled by an unknown gunsmith, in a caliber longer than the action was designed for, the non-hinged floorplate bottom metal substituted later for the original bottom metal, which would have had a magazine box too short to accommodate the .400 Whelen.
The W&S and the 400 Whelen have nothing to do with each other.
I just showed that as I had the catalog with the same model W&S rifle offered that also happened to have a similar offering as the 400.
The engraving that Stoeger offered wasnt sitting on a shelf waiting for a customer. It was done to the customers wishes by very talented craftsmen.
