I’m probably not the target audience because it’s going to be a retirement goal to own a pair of Rigbys vs a multiple Time buyer. But I’d say 95% or more of people who buy Rigbys for their classic look. I can’t imagine a big market for a non iron sighted rifle.

Everyone’s experience is different. I’ve only gotten one moose, Montana Tags are a tough draw. Mine was in rut all amped up but I didn’t find him particularly weak. About 200 yard shot, hit him through lungs solid. Second shot hit him there as well. Showed zero reaction to being shot...

Did he straighten the bolt as well? Hadn’t seen that on his rifles before but never seen a mark X with a straight bolt either. Beautiful gun

@EuroOptic Have you had good luck with the GPO line? I was always leery of them as their scopes were near identical in look to Vector optics. I guess it boils down to QC

I have a Ruger 77/22 hornet I was planning on listing at some point. It has iron sights but is a standard 77/22 not the African model but I was still going to ask a bit of a premium since iron sights are hard to find. I was going to ask 1250 plus actual shipping. If you’re interested I...

I’ve owned a bunch. I love them. But they have their quirks. Lots of moving parts, pretty delicate. So in no particular order: #1. Pay a bit more to get one from a reputable seller who has measured chamber length on the shotgun and has confirmed rifle caliber. They’ll also stand behind it if...

They’re hard to find. I like the same style and I mainly have vintage rifles. Honestly I’d look for a Winchester featherweight with irons and then thread the barrel.

@Mtn_Infantry I was merely meaning it should be up to people to choose that risk. Anyone should be able to figure it out themselves if they go to ship and he doesn’t provide a FFL. Airing it publicly on open forum leaves it much easier for pearl clutchers to decide to help the government...

Wouldn’t have known he wasn’t. Don’t be a nanny for the state. He’s been at this for a long time as long as nobody raises a stink nothing will happen. Don’t work to make them have to address it.

I’ve been looking for a Ken Owen’s Sabatti. A good compromise of reliability and price. That’s actually why I joined this forum. There was a 450/400 for sale on here. It’s sold between me applying to join and getting approved and then I just stuck around.

I’ve enjoyed handgun hunting for years. Nothing large or spectacular around so it’s a fun challenge. Used a ton of different handguns. Sig P220 .45 1911 .45 Sig P226 .40(many many deer with this one) Ruger security Six .357 magnum Ruger Redhawk .44 magnum S&W 657 .41 magnum S&W model 22 .44...

One caveat I will add as well. Toby458 will chime in with his leupold experience but he is the master in HUGE quantities of high recoiling rifles. I’ve had good luck with leupolds. I know a lot of people with good luck with leupolds……..older leupolds. My opinion the scopes they’ve made in...

Yes don’t get the .404. You obviously need a .416 since you have the .275 and it’s the namesake. I love the .404 but when I get a Rigby it’ll have to be a .275/416 combo with a 9.3x62 mid ground if I need a third

I would take a set. Messaging you shortly

No you cannot. They are machined with the lugs built in. “I” personally prefer my ring levers on the action side. Because on the off side of the gun they jab into your back and also more of a change to snag in straps, clothing etc and rotate a lever.

Dangit. Late again. Been trying to get an AHR for a couple years and never on time. Unlikely seconds if the deal falls through.

Didn’t know where to stick this so figured the classifieds would get this good traffic. So a word of warning for those who ship UPS. I recently got a Ruger custom M77 in .458 win mag. Even being shipped in a hard case, it arrived broke at the wrist. Cracked the plastic hard case as well...

Yes sir. Sniper7 has sent payment. Thank everyone for your interest. It was “cheap” because I lucked into it at a good price so I wanted to pass that forward.

I haven’t tried it on a large recoil rifle but it’s one reason I went from an AGM rated for .308 and got a Pulsar rated to .375. In only putting it on a .270 but I would assume a scope rated for .375 would hold up better than a .308 one. Plus I got to upgrade pixels as well. 384x288 and...

Sniper7 claimed via IM. He’s first up. I’ll call him shortly when I get a moment.

Located in Montana. Located on the Hi-Line near Malta. I do travel the state a fair bit and can meet in person. Will ship usps Priority Insured. Shipping options your choice of how much you pay: In factory original box. In Hard case for better protection. In hard case for better...

I’ll take a rifleman went to war and unrepentant sinner please

Always 100% of the time have a S&W 442 .38 in left front pocket. Then for every day work (Ranch) either a Beretta 92 9mm or Ruger MK II .22. Carry in public and town is either a .44 mag snubnose Astra Terminator or CZ 2075 9mm.

To me those prices seem “on par“ for average sporterized mausers. Not particularly the best jobs. Not bad but “average” brings average price. The extra little finer refining steps is where value climbs drastically

I enjoy it. Busy enough I rarely take the time for long sessions of shooting. But on the ranch I often take minute or two to shoot. Usually have a .22 or 17 in the ranch pickup and a .22 or 9mm pistol on me all the time. Usually shoot 2-5 a day all summer.

I would call Leupold on that 3-9 and verify it’s legit. By looking at the picture I think it’s a counterfeit. It magnifies by turning the ring left. Real Leupolds all magnify by turning the magnification ring to the right like that 2-7 does. Theres a ton of fakes out there. Some...

That’s interesting. I wonder how much different eyesight plays into it? I don’t own one but I’ve shot rifles with accupoints on them and I considered them “old tech” like the leupold vari XIII and VX3s etc and didn’t consider them an upgrade. Solid scopes but just comparible. I wonder if...

I’ve been unimpressed with them. Just average, nothing exceptional and their glass seems “dark”. I have handled and would like to get a euro diamond 1.5-6. Solid scopes it appears. I have a signature 1.75-6 on a ZKK602 and is a good match. Super heavy duplex and seems better in low light...

I’ve looked all over and haven’t found anything comparable. It looks similar to a Talley setup except the entire base is smooth, unlike talleys which have a little indent where the ring sits on the base. It came on a whitworth .375 I got. Lore says the rifle and Swarovski 1.5-6 it came with...

I hadn’t realized they changed it to “back ordering” in effect. Couple years ago I just had to wait until their extended floorplates and a certain ring height I wanted showed in stock.

At this moment: Ruger African .275 Rigby Ruger Safari Magnum .416 Rigby.

A phone call is good. One thing I’ve also had good luck with WTB ads? I’ll only respond in thread. If someone has something they are willing to sell, post in the thread first and then message me. I’ve not found one scammer who is willing to post publicly about being willing to sell something.

if I wasn’t in the process of trying to get a .505 Gibbs would have made a difference as well!

Congratulations. I’m glad someone got it as I was on the fence. I missed it by an hour on gunbroker of bidding it up! If I had a wood stock on hand I’d have bought it now. It’s a pain getting a wood 550 safari magnum stock.

https://www.murphyprecision.com/ruger-m77-original-version-late-1960s/ EGW also makes a one piece picatinny as well. For regular weaver bases I believe they’re #35 and #79 bases according to my weaver base chart.

Just for what it’s worth: I believe the 300 grain@2400fps is for the .333 belted OKH. Not the rimless .333 OKH.

The M98s look clean. I’ve been considering both them and Rigbys. Not a ton of $$ savings going to an M98 vs a highland stalker so I figured if I can stomach the money spent a Rigby would be a better buy as I’m guessing it will hold its long term value better

Me and several of my friends have already decided that we’ll do each others firearms dispersals. In the wills as well. My circle has way too many guns for a family to deal with and no way to get rid of it. The other trusted guys in the group are able to get rid of them easily through a...

They’re good to go. Ordered many times from them.

I am far from done. I am definately looking for “the one gun” in a few categories. The perfect African large bore for my eventual hunt. That said if I find it I won’t be selling (some) of my current rifles. I love firearms. I feel they’re like fine art in many ways where everything has a...

Is reloadinginternational not a reliable website? They’ve been solidly stocked that I’ve seen. I just haven’t had the time for reloading so I never ordered north forks. Sticking with my old steady load.

Afraid I can’t make it! Would love to but I will be in Glendive that weekend. If anyone wants to meet up I’ll be at the Livingston gunshow Feb 6-8. Good chance to check out Wolfs gunroom there anyway. Be a good opportunity since it sounds like the March Bozeman show will likely be cancelled.

I’ve wanted one. Haven’t seen one sell for less than $1700. Had one member kindly messaged me about one in a store for 1499 but it was gone by the time I called. The only calibers I want they are limiting numbers (like the hornet). 35 Whelen and .270 are seemingly limitless, respectably...

Basically cruise on here. A few scattered breaks here and there I peruse here and a few other decent forums that are left Taking over the family ranch, me and wife having our first kiddo just hit a year old, I work basically all the time and use what I can scrounge for family time. When...

I happen to have some new production Kynoch 400-375 ammo in sealed 5 round boxes. I think 7 sleeves so 35 rounds total? I’d like $9 a round plus actual shipping. If interested shoot me a message.

.257 weatherby. A classic round unmatched in the .25 caliber market. Dad swears by it, has killed a ton of game at all ranges, including incredibly long range. Bighorn sheep to prairie dogs. He likes the 100 grain TSX bullet at 3700fps.

The 1.5-4.5 VX Freedom Has exceptional eye relief. I’m not a big fan of the freedoms but they seem To work fine for people. Can always have it cerakoted glossy for that look

I was just going to ask this as well. Watching to see who responds.

I would buy two .338-06 Africans. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is made one year. I bet it’ll sell out fast too, compared to the .270 and 35 models

Sending you an IM shortly. I will be in the OK area in early February. I’d like to see what you have beforehand
