Man, the problem with these auctions is unless you are there you never know what length of pull is. It looks a tad short for most on the model 70s.

I’m not an expert… but I’m pretty sure it’s a “California” Rigby…

Not a bad rifle per se…

But definitely not the same thing as a London Rigby..

It looks like it does say London on the barrel but it’s definitely from a bad era

The era is not ideal. I think, but am not positive, that it’s a military Mauser with a welded on single square bridge and a standard length action. All of that needs to be carefully assessed in person, but of course the internet bidders will drive it to a best-case value and it is likely not a best-case gun.

The fact that it looks like a military action is what caught my eye.

Like an aging Bourbon Street hooker dressed up for a ball with a dress that doesn't quite fit and overdone makeup (the engraving).

I really gotta make a point to meet you in person. Brothers from another mother.

I believe you have confused 308 Norma with 300 H&H?

Dave- let’s not derail the turn this thread has taken…aging Bourbon Street hookers? Oh, hell yeah!
