A-square 416 Rigby Purchased In 1985

[Jefferry404]

I order this rifle from A-square in 1985 and has been in storage since then, but moved states a few times.
Wanted a Rigby and at the time, seemed the only available option. Anyhow, test fired by me once with A^2 ammo and recently, with Federal to check it out. Price is $3375 shipped FFL to FFL. Thanks for looking.

Another gentleman here asked for this info and I included here as not sure what folks want to know:
-holds 3 Hornady 400gn DGS down (no more).
-barrel length 24"
-LOP 13 3/4"
-empty weight 11.2lbs (bathroom scale). Meaty barrel.
-muzzle diameter 0.800" (could be re-bored to 450 Rigby, 495,500 AA, 460 Weatherby, etc)

These are the only stamps. The top of the receiver is marked RE and the serial# indicates the receiver was made in 1918.

Looks like there was a pivot scope mount in the "scout" position. Do you still have the rings?

You can use leupold STD rings. The rear is their dovetail and the front is the normal STD windage rear ring.

How come when I asked for pictures and a price, you couldn't just do what you just did? Would have saved a lot of time and hassle.

 

[Jefferry404]

Smokepole is first in line although he has not gotten back to my PM.
Spoke with Dave and he is 2nd in line.

 

[Jefferry404]

Smokepole got back to me and graciously passed. Thanks
