Listing for sale a Rigby rifle in 375 H&H.
circa 1925. I sent off for the letter from Rigby, and it appears like it was originally chambered in 350 Magnum, and rebored at some point. I don't have any further information on that, other than Diggory Hadoke said it was a fairly common alteration. It shoots very well. I haven't shot using the 300 and 400 leaves but the fixed 100 shoots well.
Weight: 7lb 14 oz
LOP: 15.25"
Barrel: 23.25"
Capacity: 5
Its in great shape for its age. Everything down to the ivory bead and the rear leaves seem to be in great shape. The wood is solid with a few nicks, the checkering is in good shape. Metals and blueing good, the end of the barrel blueing is worn. The barrel sling mount seems a bit worn to me but nothing to base it on. Flag safety with gold inlay in good shape. I had planned to send it off to JJ Perodeau and have him go through it and had not gotten to it yet. I am curious to know if anything else was changed. It appears to be all original but I am not an expert, someone on here will certainly know more than me.
Let me know if more pictures are needed or more information. I bought this rifle earlier this summer out of an estate sale with no plans to sell it. I was content to own a neat piece of history. But, some acreage that connects to the family properly has come up for sale and we are jumping on it, so a few things have to go.
Asking $7,500. Shipped and insured to FFL. Thank you!
