Very nice rifle. I wonder about recoil with the Euro style stock with the amount of drop on the (comb) butt.

It’s definitely been hunted with, but well taken care of. Mr. Hambrusch recommended I use factory Federal ammo with it. Anyone have a good 30mm scope recommendation for this? Thinking a 1-5x Leupold but I may pony up for a Kahles to keep it all Austrian. |

I only used Leupold’s when I lived in AK because they wouldn’t fog up and were pretty rugged, but that was 40 years ago. I also used fixed power scopes as well, 3 or 4x. I liked the simplicity and lighter weight. But todays options are a lot better.

Beautiful rifle! Please provide a range report when you get it set up.
I envy your ammo budget. That baby doesn't eat cheap! 😎 |

I probably won’t shoot it much outside of zeroing it for whatever scope I put on, but I do have a real big wild hog on my land I’d like to shoot with it. I also do plan to go to Africa for a hunt within the next ten years and will definitely use this rifle. Mr. Hambrusch said that’s what it was built for.

I just scored a killer Kahles K16i off the EE, hopefully the bolt can clear it. Will be nice to have a top end Austrian optic on top of this top end Austrian rifle The EAW swing mount setup is really cool. They are stupid expensive though, $600 for the parts and $3-500 gunsmith job to install. Luckily all I have to do with this one is the last few steps since it was pro-mounted by Peter Hambrusch. Here is a video showing how it works:
How to mount a Steiner M5Xi scope with EAW Scope Mounts Looking forward to doing some blasting with it. |

Been learning a lot about this round, I'll probably start loading up some Barnes 300gr TSX bullets and start working my way up to the full power dangerous game loads. Here's a good video Ron Spomer made on the topic:

If you want to go down the .458 rabbit hole, there are some 458 WinMag lovers here - .458 WinMag loads and more. I don't think there are a more knowledgeable crew on the big Winchester cartridge. There is a lot of loading data there.
Warning - they don't care for the 458 Lott. |

Though, with it being a win mag recoil should still be very reasonable, just be glad its not Lott or a Wells. |
