    Guys, this is not a veld rifle! This is a piece of art, a show piece. It will at most see some range time.

    For that, I appreciate its absolute beauty and incredible craftsmanship that went into this rifle!

    A rifle like this is not within reach of most of out budgets. But those who can afford it, doesn't need to buy Howa's for veld rifles. And they don't worry about the cost of ammo.

    Agree, it's not a field rifle. Yet to have it and not even once "bleed" it is also a shame, or should one regard it as "worth more because it is unfired"? I figure that it should work at least once even if only range time.

    I would hand it on my wall, just below the three flying ducks.

    Hi Power a beautiful gun, understated, elegantly finished.
    Here's another interesting pistol, presented to Adolf Hitler in 1939 by the Walther family.
