    good morning:

    I’m just looking. In out post pandemic environment is no one is making 458 Winchester magnums rifles any more? Fully understand no one is beating the door down buying this caliber. Any suggestions where to look? Shoot only cast so recoil is a non-issue. Like I said just looking to see what is out there. Not sure I want to open this can of worms. Thx.

    If you are looking to shoot cast keep an eye out for a Ruger #1 or Tropical but maybe also consider a Sharps type in 45-90 or such with the benefit you could use black powder or smokeless

    to add..there are ruger#1 specific 45-70 loads that approch .458 win levels and it’s easier to find those rifles

    Howdy gents! Question: is there a market for NOS .458 ammo? I’ve got around 120 rounds of Winchester Super X 510 grain soft points that are taking up room. Old price tags on the boxes marked at $29.99. Are they even worth listing in the classified section?

    Thanks.
