Howdy...I should be receiving that 416 Rem Mag this coming week. Thankfully it was still available when I called them early yesterday morning. Now I'm on the hunt for some brass and bullets to test it out.I wish! Unfortunately not…
Interested to hear the story on that magazine box/floor plate.That

Me too, assumed it is a magazine extension. Cabela's staff thought that is what it was too. I'll have to see how I like the look of it and more importantly, if it functions property. I might be hunting down some parts in the future to get it back to factory.I wish! Unfortun
I just looked at it. The seller has several BAD negative feedbacks on GB. I would personally pass on it.
Rifle was owned by a well known French Doctor, who specialized in breast augmentation. He didn't like the lack of symmetry on the stock. I bet the new cheek piece feels really nice on the face.Here's one that looks a bit dubious to me - according to Google Translate:
RIGBY bolt-action RIFLE, cal 416 Rigby Magnum,
Revolver stock with cheek piece
No. 11330.

Someone seems to have stuck a check piece on the right hand side of the stock, which would need to come off. The quarter-rib looks horrible. And, of course, the .416 Rigby is the poor-man's .404 Jeffery.
On the other hand, the estimate is €600 - €800. Most of the blacking seems to be there, and it looks to have had an easy life. I am not interested, and on that basis cannot be bothered to do any further research, but it might be one of Paul Roberts' rifles from the '80s. We need VertigoBE to buy it and find out!
Oh dear... what happened to that rifle... On the .416 Rigby side of things I'm well supplied however, wouldn't need this ugly duck to add to the vault.Here's one that looks a bit dubious to me - according to Google Translate:

About 20 years ago I sold something to a man from Finland. After we came to terms on price, he proudly said "I will pay you with my American Express Card'. I responded, "I don't take American Express". He was in disbelief. "But, this is America" LOL.

Looks to be well used, some scratches on the wood and such, but nothing that cannot be helped.
Let's see what it gives.
