Heym SR20 finished by Rigby

[Altitude sickness]

Heym in .275 Rigby finished by Rigby. It has a nice straight comb stock. Very smooth action and trigger. And shoots better than it looks. Muzzle is threaded and capped.

Lop 14 3/8”
Barrel is 22.5”

Target is 5 shots at 100 yds using factory Hornady ammo

$3950 with out the scope.

I’m no Marine sniper. That’s for sure. But this one is easy to shoot well.

Here is 5 shots with the PPU ammo. 1st shot is low right. So I gather it doesn’t like a really clean bore.

Bolt and cheek piece on the wrong side.

It looks like it's not to particular what you put through it either, I love a rifle like that. Almost all my rifles like a couple of fouling shots put through them before they settle down.

I’m no expert, but it looks to me like a 1970s to 1980s bonafide Rigby during the Ron Wharton era. Unlike many built on CZ and cut rate mauser actions of that era, this looks like a premium heym fit and finished in Rigby’s London workshop. Very nice @Altitude sickness

About the perfect caliber and at 1/3rd the price of a pre-ww2 version.

Good luck with the sale, it won’t last long priced as a non-rigby Heym of the same age!

“Here is one of the responses from Rigby when I inquired about the rifle.

Hello There

I am not sure what they did in full.

Some people here think they would have scoped, shot and tested the rifle.

Also some cosmetic work plus the engraving.

It would have been given an overhaul too.

I hope that helps.
Best Regards”
