Advice for medium/small bore rifle

Not to hijack the thread, but you can't write something like that and not give details.
It's like have a cigarette and nothing to light it with.
Somebody turn the stove on so I can light this thing.
Ok, here goes.
I have just held my Rigby in 275. The stock is very well used to say the least however the bore is good without pitting.
It was sold to a H Murry Wells in September 1969 described as a Mauser sporting. Its weight is 7lbs 7 oz and has a 24 inch barrel it also has a side mount for a scope.
It will some be on its way to my friend for the stock to be refurbished.
I am very excited. As you my know I am a huge fan of the Mauser action hense my 3 CZ,s. and a Parker Hale. We think the action on the Rigby has got Waffen marks on it but his needs further investigation.
Markcz.

Ahhhhhh, that's better.
Thanks for the light.
Post a few pics when you get the stock back and have it all together.

Hey my friend, I am returning to SA for a Cape Buffalo hunt in June 26. My outfitter has suggested Highveld but I have read some poor reports. Wondering how satisfied you were with your mounts from them? Thanks in advance.
Finally back to somewhat normal I missed reading the messages and posts

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
