    Question Wildey .475 magnum

    Found a local auction coming up with a LNIB Wildey Survivor in .475 magnum with 8" barrel. It comes with the wooden case, tools, cleaning rod and two mags. I'm thinking it's worth maybe $1,000-$1,200. It's a given I'd have to hand load which is no biggy and it would for sure be a conversation piece. Thoughts?

    If you have the money it certainly is interesting. Wouldn't be at the top of my list of things to buy but if the price was right it would be cool to own.

    I tried to push the envelope, but found that it was stationery.

    Only if you use it to clean up the mean streets of New York City.

    And odd one that probably had very low production numbers. A collectors piece IMO.
