Had an itching for another Mauser build like my 25-06AI. I went into a Houston gun shop "Gordy & Sons" and the guy handed me one of the most gorgeous Rigby rifles in 275 Rigby. I was enamored, but them horrified when I saw the price tag. After reading African hunting literature I understood that Rigby just renamed it so it would sell and be more "Posh". So I named this build the "Rigby we have at home/275 Rigby Improved" here's some pictures of its first range trip with max book data to start, in the future I will try to turn the gas up as much as possible.

Chilean 1912 surplus reciever
Bell and Carlson Mark-X sporter stock
1/8 27" Pac Nor #5 sporter barrel
Model 70 style safety shroud
Military trigger (subject to change soon)
Vortex Diamondback Tactical 4-16x (definitely subject to change soon)

Hello,

I saw your post selling left hand rifles. Do you have any additional pics of the .416 Rem mag?

Thank you.
