Lot 3-APHA Remembers Rifle
The fourth in our series "APHA Remembers Great Guides & Rifles of the Past". The Tools of the Legends auction rifle for this year’s event is a close duplication of Big Nan, the rifle carried by Hal Waugh, Alaska’s first licensed Master Guide. Hal’s famous Winchester Model 70 rifle, chambered for the powerful .375 Weatherby cartridge.
Hal was quite a gun fanatic. He was a knowledgeable shooter and reloader and his primary rifle of choice for bear hunting was “Big Nan”. It is an early 1947 vintage Winchester model 70 that Hal sent to Weatherby in 1949 to be rechambered into their new and powerful .375 Weatherby. The massive Weatherby cartridge utilized a slightly enlarged .375 H& H case to produce even more power, but in a pinch, a hunter could also safely fire regular .375 H& H ammunition in one. Big Nan became a part of Hal’s legend and for a number of years after his death in 1973, the rifle resided in the UAF museum in Fairbanks, Alaska. It now resides in Kenai, Alaska with a friend of the Waugh family.
Weatherby has donated two boxes of their excellent factory ammunition to APHA to be included with this rifle.

Alaska Professional Hunters Association (APHA) is a Section 501(c)(6), non-profit membership organization. Our members include professional guides and our mission is dedicated to the conservation of our wildlife resources. APHA appreciates the support of its donors and members in helping to further its programs and goals. Auction revenue funds a great portion of APHA's operating budget. The term “auction” refers to silent auction, live auction, online auction and raffle.
Any bid made at an APHA auction, whether in person at a live auction, by phone, online or at a silent auction, constitutes an unconditional offer to buy the item in question at the bid price. Unless a higher and subsequent bid is made, your bid creates a binding contract of purchase, obligates you to sign the bid ticket or, in the case of a phone or online bid, authorizes the person who took the bid to sign on your behalf AND requires that the bid amount be paid prior to the close of the auction. In the event the successful bid was made by phone or online, the bid price must be received before the close of the fifth business day after the close of the auction.
Any failure of compliance with the provision above will result in the addition of any costs incurred because of non-compliance, plus the addition of interest at the rate of 5% per month, or portion thereof, that payment is late. Auction items must be paid for by the close of the Banquet. Payments will be taken at the auction payment table during the evening auction. Payments can be made by cash, check, Visa and MasterCard. If the winning bidder of an auction item refuses to pay the winning bid price plus any premiums required, the item shall be offered to the next highest bidder for the price he/she bid. If the next highest bidder declines the item or if the second highest bidder is unknown, the President shall dispose of the item at his/her discretion.
APHA strongly encourages Special Permit buyers to book with a licensed, registered guide/outfitter in the State, Province, Tribal Nation or Country he/she is hunting. Use of non-licensed guide/outfitters may be prohibited by law. It is the legal responsibility of the permit buyer/holder to familiarize themselves with, and abide by, the game, outfitting, guiding, firearm use/importation or other applicable laws in the State, Province or Country they are hunting.
ONLINE BIDDING: All online bidders will be required to pay a 5% buyer’s premium with a $250 cap.
You will also be asked to provide the following information: Full Name, Email address, Address, Phone number, Credit card number, which an AVS (Address Verification System) is completed. All purchases over the amount of $10,000 will require a call back from APHA Auction Team for verification.
PAYING WITH CREDIT CARDS: PAYING BY CREDIT CARD WILL BE CHARGED AN ADDITIONAL 3% ADMINISTRATION FEE
FIREARMS: Before taking possession of your purchased firearm, the gun must be registered in compliance with all federal, state, and local firearms laws. To meet this compliance, APHA will ship the firearm, at the expense of the purchaser, from Headquarters to a Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder of your choice after the Banquet. APHA cannot transfer any firearm at the Banquet.
