Good Gun Deals This Week

If you dont mind importing from France this one looks really nice with extended top tang/triggerguard: https://www.ggranger.com/carabine-416-rigby/

Apparently only 2000 EUR.
If it’s 2,000 EUR that’s a great price. I wonder how much all the paperwork and shipping are? If I hadn’t just ordered a 9.3x62 custom…I would consider this. Nice idea for the future though. Thanks!

I bought a beautiful WR DR from Doreac & Doreac in France and getting it to US surprisedly easy
 
I was surfing around & saw a Sako AV Mannlicher chambered in 416 Rem Mag. It had a starting price of $1,195 with a Buy It Now of $1,495. From the closeup photos, it looked like it was in really good shape. As a leftie, it was of no use to me. But because it was a configuration I hadn't seen before, I decided to share it in case it was a combination that appealed to someone else. I doubt that many were made.

Even though it's a rechambering, I'm tempted simply because I've always been interested in a bigger bore in a stutzen/full length stock and I love Sakos. It's not particularly practical, and there's a risk the rechambering work wasn't done well (I'm not too confident based on the wonky stamp on the barrel), so I'll probably pass. But I'll be interested to hear how it looks/feeds/functions if someone takes the leap.

Did someone get a killer deal? I had my eye on it, but ended up going out for supper and errands with the family and missed the close.
I bid on a bunch of things from this sale. I only ended up getting a stock blank though.

I thought the prices were dang good, I just couldn’t justify any of them right now.

Was that gentleman a member here? Judging by the rifles and trophies, he had excellent taste.
 
Where did you see it mentioned that it was only 2000€ ?

That seems very low for this rifle.
I asked the seller, almost a year ago before I ordered my incoming custom rifle. He got back to me last week and said it was 2000 euros and that it was still for sale even though I asked about it so long ago.

Admittedly my french is sub-par, but I think I interpreted it correctly:

Bonsoir Monsieur
Elle est en vente au prix de 2000 euros.

Cordialement

I also thought it was cheap, but since I very much doubt I would be able to get a licence for it since I have allready applied for my incoming .375 H&H I decided to pass on the oppurtunity.

Sweden has quite hard rules about weapons licences.

I was hoping for action or two, but by the time I added in the currency conversion and import fees they weren’t looking cheap

That is a steal, for magnum actioned 416 Rigby, Dumoulin rifle with an optic installed. I think I need to send this to my brother!

I missed the previous sale from this estate. Had a Griffen & Howe 404 and a HoffmanArms 10.75x68. The latter went for around $1850.
 
Dangit. I always hear of good auctions on Hibid but it seems I watch like a hawk and it’s plain Jane/regular stuff. By the
Time unique auctions come around I’m worn out and not watching.
 
That’s a good price for that gun.

This is a gorgeous Ruger No. 1. Not sure how it will end up selling for, but considering it still has 13 days, I'm sure it will go for a lot higher.
Wow… that is gorgeous. In .22 Hornet… would make for some fierce Duiker Medicine

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
