This is my John Rigby & Co. .303 British - Serial No. 3259, and one of my favorite Mauser rifles. A takedown configuration, one of only 16 takedown examples ever built by Rigby in this caliber. Retaining its original scope, bases, and rings, it remains remarkably complete and true to its original factory configuration. With so few made—and inevitably fewer surviving today, this 303 stands as a rare and beautiful example of Rigby’s finest work in a practical, travel-ready sporting rifle.

I love how the checkering continues the pattern on both sides of the take down joint. The swept back pistol grip doesn't hurt my feelings, either. As usual you have impeccable taste....and, I suspect, a walk-in gun safe!

Good afternoon,

I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.
