I found a real SLEEPER - unidentified 416 Rigby - real cheap

After five years since the original post, does @buckstix still have the rifle?
 
I see that this is an old post, but after seeing a recent offering on gunbroker for a Brevex action and a 450 Rigby barrel being listed at $4,500 I was wondering if buckstix had been spending the past 5 years in jail for "Grand Theft Rifle." :):)
 
That square block behind the extractor is a dead giveaway for a Brevex. Great find and I hope he still has it.
 
Be sure to arrange for a gun bearer for your Safari!

Beauty of a custom rifle; wonder for whom it was originally made?
 
Congrats on the find! Beautiful setup.

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
