This rifle was in France and a AH member was looking for such a rifle, @rookhawk recommended that the member purchase it. It was imported to the U.S. and immediately sent to JJ Perodeau to inspect. JJ also modified the rib for an Trijicon reflex sight.
@Rare Breed was the member who purchased and had this fine rifle imported. I was fortunate to purchase the rifle from @Rare Breed about 18 months ago.
It is a little more rifle than I am comfortable with but I intended to take an animal with it before I let it go. I am selling for a little more than my purchase price, but less than I have invested. $22,000 is what I would like to realize from this sale.
Life changes things and my wife of 30 years left back in February without saying a word, just leaving a note. I talked her into marriage counseling to no avail.
I will never understand what went on inside her head for her to do everything she did.
She demanded a divorce and she got what she asked for. The time has come for me to let someone else enjoy this fine rifle.
28” barrels and non ejector, 15” to the front trigger. I purchased a Trijicon reflex sight base from JJ.
There is a “lifetime” of reloading components with this rifle. I would prefer to sell in the same manner I purchased it. I flew into the previous owner’s city and rented a car. I drove to inspect and drove home so I could bring the rifle and components home safely. If there are no interested parties willing to do this, I will modify the price and the new owner will be responsible for the actual shipping cost of the numerous components and rifle. The large number of components are very heavy, I calculated it to be about 70 lbs of projectiles alone.
The rifle came in a hard case that is not TSA approved.
There are primers and powder in this package that I cannot ship.
The loaded cartridges were loaded by the previous owner and I have shot some with no problems. If the new owner wishes, the new owner can pull the loaded rounds and be can used for components. I don’t typically even consider using someone else’s hand loads, but I was satisfied using with these.
The is a new Silvers recoil pad that I was going to use the widow’s peak from and attach a softer pad that is included as well.
Please message me with questions or requests for more pictures. I am having trouble with posting additional pictures, I am providing a link to the original sale thread. https://www.africahunting.com/threa...ifle-for-sale-i-am-the-toby-of-drs-lol.74437/
