Talk about having "seen the elephant". This is one classy rifle.

I see it was sold, could I ask how much???

OOooooo,,[sucked in breath thru clenched teeth] So damn classic, and the company kept while in use -- it's Sculpture, Poetry and Heroic Tales all at once. My concentration ruined!! Just ruined -- I'll keep the page up, while i should be working. Thanks, Hoot...luv' it.

You should have bought and headed to the Dark Continent.

Hard to get much better provenance than that!!

And that one is a real prize, hope it went to a home where it will be cherished and not just left sitting in a safe.

We found a R.F. Sedgley custom Springfield '06 at a local gun shop...it was on consignment. They evidently didn't know what they had as I bought it for $250. We've shot it with cast and jacteted loads......what a wonderful rifle. The lyman sights on it are worth as much as we paid for the rifle. One of these sold for $2686.00 at auction on 4/6/2014.

I'd hock the dogs to pick up as many at that price as I could...and I really like my dogs!
