[FOTIS]

As if the 45-70 Sharps, 1886 45-90, and MK V 460 Bee was not enough!

Here comes the 458 Lott! What a sicko!

Very nice No.1 Fotis.
That's a "Lott" of gun right there!

Haha nice one,
Fotis, I saw a No. 1 in 405 Win at the LGS and actually thought of you!

 

[FOTIS]

Why thank you fellas! Always a sucker for a #1

 

[clearwater]

what power scope for that elephant gun?

 

[Guy Miner]

Good looking rifle there Fotis, congrats on another fine one.

[RL338]

Very nice.
What will it purposed for a hunt or a collector?

 

[GregoryB.]

Love them #1’s.

 

[filmjunkie4ever]

I want a No.1 something fierce but I would probably use a .220 Swift or .30-06 Springfield more than anything.

 

[Bruce Mc]

Ya know Fotis they have psychiatric therapy for these tendencies to inflict pain on one's self. Very nice shooter there!

 

[TackDriver284]

That is good bull nilgai medicine.

A friend rechambererd his No.1 Tropical from 458 Win to the Lott.
I shot and hunted with it when it was still a Win quite awhile ago...but had to pass on a large grizzly as it was past shooting light...
Never did shoot it again after the rechambering.

You see, Fotis dosent mess around- when he needs some "recoil therapy" he dosent go blow off a couple hundred rounds of .223. He reaches for a 458 Lott and 4or5 rounds. Course it would cost about the same, so he reloads . CL

 

[Blkram]

Recoil therapy!
Where a little goes a long way!

As in other matters...quality will trump quantity!

Fotis, have your tried the 510 Wells?

 

[NYDAN]

Congratulations on your acquisition. You make me feel like a wimp for limiting myself to 300 WM recoil.

Well it is wearing a Leupold 1.5-5x20mm VX3i currently (included in sale). If she behaves she might stay on.
` If not I have an extra NF Compact 2-10 laying around and out of work.

 

[FOTIS]

Very nice.

You do know I have bled all my big Bees on antelope and elk right? 378 and 416 so far. In fact here is a PD which met its demise from my 416 Bee.

 

[salmonchaser]

Excellent whistle pig medicine right there. Well done.

 

[FOTIS]

As far as recoil goes let's put it this way. I have owned close to a dozen 378 Bees. One of them did NOT come with a brake. Worst kicker I ever dealt with!
If anyone can consistently shoot this rifle accurately by tuning out the recoil then everything else is like a 30-06.

Do not get me wrong Troy, I do enjoy the 17 Hornet, 22 Hornet, 222, 223 and 6mm Arc from time to time.
